Kosi Forest Lodge

A superbly crafted eco-lodge at the heart of the Kosi Bay Nature Reserve, close to the Indian Ocean and the enchanting waterways of the Isimangaliso Wetlands

The Kosi Bay Nature Reserve is one of South Africa’s lesser known national parks. Yet these amazingly vast wetlands and their interconnecting lakes, are one of the country’s most beautiful and pristine eco-systems. Surrounded by low-growing forest, stretching north to the Mozambique border and east to the Indian ocean, the area is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The lodge, hidden amidst sand forest at the edge of Kosi lake, is perfectly located for exploring the wetlands and forests of the park by launch, canoe or on foot. The main building of this decked, thatched and reed-lined lodge wraps round a huge Zulu podberry tree and from here a series of sandy pathways snakes through the forest to the 8 guest huts, each a good distance from the next to guarantee privacy. Beyond the huts is a small pool and sun deck overlooking the lake, from where you can watch wallowing hippos, fish eagles diving for their catch and amazing sunrises and sunsets.
