Area Info:
The lakes form part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The closest town is Manguzi, some 10 kilometres away. Kosi Bay estuary is 15 kilometres from the Lodge. It is one of the quietest and most private beaches in South Africa. The Kosi River Mouth is known as “the aquarium” because of the clarity of the water and the abundance of fish species
