Although the lodge is easily accessed with a normal vehicle, a 4x4 is needed
to get into most areas. You may bring your own 4x4, or we can get you around with ours. As towels are not provided so please provide your own. The lodge is self-catering so bring your own food and drink. Mosquito repellant is a must, and malaria profelaxis are strongly recommended. Our water is ok but you may not feel comfortable with it, so please bring your own to be safe. A torch is always a handy thing to have.

The Kosi Bay area boasts a rich natural world heritage site, consisting of a magnificent lake system, extensive coastal forest reserve and the most stunningly secluded beaches imaginable. The leatherback turtle makes it's home here, and can be seen in season,
laying its eggs and a little while later, the young can be seen making a dash
for the surf. Both dolphins and whales are regularly spotted from the beach, and
for the fishermen, there is no place comparable.
