View Leatherback Turtles come
ashore - Kosi Forest Lodge

Tracking Leatherback Turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs on our beaches is an experience of a lifetime enjoyed by visitors to the Kosi Forest Lodge.

The giant turtles, weighing almost a ton, swim thousands of kilometres, lumber ashore and up the elephant coast beaches to lay their eggs on holes they dig in the sand.
 
When the eggs hatch vast numbers of baby leatherback turtles struggle towards to ocean. Many are taken by predators before they reach the waves. The turtle 'season' is between mid November and mid-January.

Located in the North of the Maputaland Elephant Coast, visitors of the Kosi Forest Lodge can also enjoy guided canoeing trips on the Kosi Lake system, snorkelling on the Kosi Reef, fly fishing, forest trails and bird watching.
 
A great place to learn about the unique cultural and economic traditions of the Tonga people. The accomodation is 'luxury bush' with en-suite open air bathrooms enclosed with reeds.

Kosi Forest Lodge will to treat you to the delights of Maputaland.
