Description
If you’re looking for adventure, then there’s no better place to start than Sodwana Bay Lodge. A stone’s throw from the pristine waters of Lake Shazibe,and surrounded by lush vegetation, the thatched chalets are carefully designed to blend in seamlessly with the eco-orientated nature of the area. Their exteriors exude a rustic charm that belies the comfortable and modern accommodation within. It’s like a self-catering safari with a bar and swimming pool! Wide lakes and extensive river estuaries, fertile swamp, sand and lush forests are woven together into a rich tapestry that pulsates with vitality and life. Guided walk among the glorious red ivory and yellow fever trees will bring you up close and personal with the Big 5 (black rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion and the elusive leopard), along with a rich array of antelope and bird species.
The Tembe Elephant Park is also well worth visiting. Beyond the shelter of the massive sand dunes lie the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, a timeless underwater realm of astounding beauty and bio-diversity.South Africa’s eastern seaboard is a relatively untouched heaven for eco-adventurers, fishermen and scuba divers, which is why there is an onsite dive shop. Pit your wits and stamina against the mighty marlin, explore the bejeweled coral palaces beneath the surface, or walk along the golden beaches spotting humpback whales while the clear warm waters lapping around you ankles. The choice is entirely yours. Sodwana Bay Lodge. Easy to find, not so easy to leave.
A per-vehicle gate levy and a refundable breakage deposit is payable on arrival. The resort is situated 4.5 km from the sea/beach and there is a charge to go onto the beach. Please contact the resort for more information.
