Kosi Forest Lodge

(KwaZulu Natal - South Africa)

General Description
This wilderness lodge is located in the Kosi Bay Nature Reserve – a stunning region of geographical diversity with lakes, rivers, pristine beaches, bush and coastal forests. Kosi Forest Lodge is the only private lodge in the reserve, an unspoilt wilderness that is part of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, now internationally recognised as a World Heritage Site.

The 16-bed lodge offers comfortable accommodation, excellent cuisine and caters for a host of estuarine, beach and wilderness activities. Explore this unique ecosystem by guided canoe, boat trips on the lakes, raffia forest walks or day excursions to nearby coastal beaches. Discover one of South Africa’s best ecotourist destinations.

A massive Zulu Podberry tree is the focal point of the main lodge with the lounge, dining room and bar all opening onto a large, wooden deck built around the tree.

Accommodation
Eight rooms are raised on a wooden deck with a beautifully appointed bedroom, balcony, dressing room and separate bath and shower. The romantic en-suite bathroom is open-air in a reed-enclosed boma. Set in white beach sand and positioned under one of the huge forest trees, guests are guaranteed a truly unique experience.

The bedrooms have low wooden walls with mosquito netting and roll-up canvas blinds allowing for full views of the surrounding forest. Kosi Forest Lodge has become increasingly popular as a honeymoon destination. The honeymoon suite is completely private and allows couples to enjoy the serenity of the surrounding sand forest undisturbed.

There is no electricity at Kosi Forest Lodge, instead the lodge’s services are powered by a generator.

Dining
Kosi Forest Lodge takes full advantage of Maputuland’s sultry weather with most meals served al fresco - on the deck or under large Albizia trees.
