Retiree Irma, who was born in the Netherland­s, moved to South Africa in 1968 with her British husband, the author of numerous marine books. They have lived all over the world – Belgium, Hillbrow, Bristol, Durban, Swaziland, Umhlanga, among other places – but St Lucia is their home. “We moved here permanentl­y in 2008. It’s too busy for us during the holidays – sometimes you have to wait two to three hours to get into the reserve because they only allow 250 vehicles in at a time, but that’s a small price to pay for the paradise we have to ourselves for the rest of the year.”
