Description

Kosi is one of the most fascinating and beautiful pristine lake systems on the African coastline, a get-away-from-it-all coastal paradise. Activities revolve largely around water sports, walking trails and sport fishing activities including deep-sea, surf, estuary and fly fishing. Snorkelling is always popular and guided walks around the lake system can be arranged. 

Kosi Bay Camp features three rustic cottages. These include a six-bed cottage with three bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, lounge/dining room and kitchen with a large viewing deck with barbecue facilities. The five-bed cottage features two bedrooms, two bathrooms with showers, lounge/dining room and kitchen and the two-bed cottage has an open plan room with bathroom, kitchenette and lounge/dining area combined.
There are 15 campsites at the Kosi Bay Camp situated on the edge of Lake Nhlange.

Kosi Bay Camp is situated on the western shore of Lake Nhlange, the largest in the Kosi system. To access the Kosi mouth and the Indian Ocean beaches is a 45 minute drive requiring a 4X4 vehicle. The drive is spectacular with views across the fish kraal dotted lake to the sea as you crest the huge coastal dunes. Beach driving is not allowed. The condition of the last 7kilometres of the Kosi Bay Camp entrance road is very sandy and is only accessable to 4X4 vehicles or those with a difflock. As most of the 'roads' in the area are sand tracks, a 4X4 is required to fully access all the areas of the park.

Accommodation

Camping

Kosi is one of the most fascinating and beautiful pristine lake systems on the African coastline, a get-away-from-it-all coastal paradise where humpback whales are seen on their northerly calving migration to Mocambique, loggerhead and leatherback turtles lay their eggs on the beaches at night in summer and local people practice a unique and age-old form of subsistence fishing. 

Kosi Bay Camp has fifteen shady open campsites in a beautiful coastal bush setting that can accommodate up to seven guests each.
Each site has cold running water, barbecue facilities and a plug point.

Two modem ablutions feature hot and cold running water, flush toilets and showers, but no dishwashing or laundry facilities. The camp also features three fully equipped self-catering cottages set deep in the beautiful coastal forest. Kosi Bay Camp is situated on the western shore of Lake Nhlange, the largest in the Kosi system. To access the Kosi mouth and the Indian Ocean beaches is a 45 minute drive requiring a 4X4 vehicle.
