As the only private lodge within Kosi Bay Nature Reserve, Kosi Forest Lodge offers an exclusive glimpse into the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Isimangiliso Wetland Park. Home to a diverse array of wetland life including hippos, crocodiles and many unusual bird species, visitors can explore the swamps and forests prevalent to the area.
Kosi Forest Lodge provides simple and comfortable tented accommodation in thatched suites which blend seamlessly into the surrounding nature.
Activities are plentiful with so many unique habitats to explore. Discover the jungle of the Raffia Palm forest where you might be lucky enough to catch sight of the rare palm-nut vulture. Catch a boat trip around the lakes and channels and even go snorkelling in the mouth of the Kosi river, surrounded by shoals of tropical fish. Between mid-November to mid-January, you can follow the extraordinary journey of giant leatherback and loggerhead turtles as they make their journey back to their birthplace to lay their eggs.
Back at your private suite, relax under the forest canopy in your very own al-fresco bath tub and reflect on this little piece of paradise.
