Questions about Kosi Forest Lodge
What activities are included in the rate here?
Rates from ZAR 3,730 per person per night include accommodation, meals, a guided canoe trip and a guided walk in the Raphia forest. Those two activities are the heart of a stay: paddling the lake system and walking beneath ancient Raphia palms, home to the world only fruit-eating vulture.
Can Kosi Forest be combined with a beach stay?
It combines well. Paired with Thonga Beach Lodge and Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge it makes a bush, beach and lakes honeymoon, and we often build the three into one route through northern KwaZulu-Natal rather than treating them separately.
What makes the Kosi Bay area unusual?
Kosi Bay is a water wonderland of linked lakes running from seawater through to fresh, and it is the cultural capital of the Tsonga Tembe Kingdom, where the Tsonga have been fishing for over a thousand years. The lodge sits within iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa first World Heritage Site.
