Kosi Forest Lodge is situated in the Kosi
Bay Nature Reserve. This 16-bed wilderness lodge offers the unique
opportunity of exploring a pristine wetland environment by vehicle,
guided canoes and boats. When you awake in the morning at Kosi the
suites are surrounded by beautiful trees which are a haven for a
prolific bird life. You will be welcomed by a flask of boiling water
and the weather report for the day – so you can decide where you
want to explore that day over a hearty breakfast. The highlight for
many at Kosi Forest Lodge is the canoe trip on the Kosi Lakes. The
best time for this activity is in the early morning and lasts for
approximately 2hours. Guides escort you by canoe along the Sihadla
channel where the bird life is very rewarding and the scenery
peaceful and breathtaking. You will return for a delicious lunch and
a siesta before embarking on your afternoon activity. On the
afternoon you can enjoy a walk through magnificent Raffia Palms –
the tallest in the world! Home to the Palm Nut Vulture and Pel’s
Fishing Owl, the area can be explored by birders at their leisure.
When you return from your afternoon activity you will have time to
freshen up before coming through to enjoy a delicious meal on either
the main deck or in the Boma. The lodge is charming and as it is not
on mains electricity, the pathways and eating venues are lit by
lanterns and create a warm atmosphere to enjoy the sounds of the
night. The Kosi Lakes are a series of

Thonga Beach Lodge
After breakfast and morning activity
guests will check out of Kosi Forest Lodge and transferred to Thonga
Beach Lodge – only 2 ½ hours door to door. On arrival guests will be
shown their sea view room and given time to unpack and relax before
coming through to some enjoy an afternoon activity. After enjoying
one of the many activities hosted at Thonga you will have time to
freshen up before coming through for a delicious meal under the
stars. Thonga Beach Lodge is set on the secluded Mabibi Bay, in the
heart of the Isimangaliso Wetland Park, an internationally
recognized World Heritage Site. With direct access onto the pristine
shores of the Maputaland coast, this luxury lodge is the ideal place
to discover one of the last unspoilt and undeveloped wilderness
beaches left on the African continent. Mabibi is a magical place of
tranquil swimming bays and snorkelling reefs, coastal forests,
grasslands, bush, shimmering lakes and exquisite sandy beaches. It’s
clear, warm waters offer superb snorkelling and fantastic offshore
scuba diving. The 12 suites are Robinson Crusoe-chic! Thatched
en-suite rooms have been carefully constructed in the coastal dune
forest to ensure minimum impact on the environment and maximum guest
privacy. Each room has a double vanity, stone bath, indoor/outdoor
shower, bar fridge, air-conditioning, ceiling fan & mosquito net.
The lodge serves breakfast, lunch & dinner on the deck in the shade
of the forest. Sundowners can be enjoyed in the bar lounge or the
cool deck under the Coastal Milkwood trees. Activities at Thonga
Beach Lodge include scuba diving, Open Ocean experiences, kayaking
and sundowners at Lake Sibaya, guided snorkelling, seasonal turtle
drives/walks, Tsonga Cultural tours and forest walks. Whether a
walker or a diver, there are a wealth of activities to explore this
beautiful hideaway, or maybe simply relax with a Sea Spa treatment
or on the beach deck. Scuba diving at Mabibi is phenomenal. The
professional lodge diving team can accommodate enthusiasts, from the
beginner to the veteran. For those who don’t dive, there is an Open
Ocean Experience. An exciting launch through the surf in front of
the lodge takes guests beyond the breakers to a world of dolphins,
whales and snorkelling. The warm Indian Ocean supports a myriad of
fish and marine life. Guests can sometimes swim with dolphins or
whale sharks, or snorkel with Manta rays and giant turtles. In
Summer there are nocturnal walks and drives along the beach in
search of pre-historic turtles laying their eggs. Witness the
culmination of an incredible journey as giant Leatherback and
Loggerhead turtles come ashore to lay their eggs in carefully
prepared nests. Turtle tracking is offered in the evening from
November to end-February (for the laying from Nov to Jan and
hatchlings from end Dec to end February.) Every precaution is taken
to ensure these magnificent creatures are not disturbed during the
laying process and data collected from the turtle drives are
submitted to the Ezemvelo Turtle Monitoring programme.
