Kosi Forest Lodge
Guided Canoe trips
The highlight for many at Kosi Forest Lodge is the canoeing trip on the Kosi Lakes. The best time for this activity is in the early morning and lasts for approximately 2 hours. Guides escort you by canoe along the Siyadla channel where the bird life is very rewarding and the scenery peaceful and breath taking
Half Day or Full Day Trip on the Lakes
The Kosi Lakes are a series of interconnected lakes which stretch over some 18km. The best way to see the system is by boat. The full day excursion leaves shortly after breakfast and travels through the lake system and estuarine waterways. The guides stop along the way and explain the traditional fishing traps and the traditions of the Tsonga community, who live in balance with the lake system.
Additional Charge for this activity.

4x4 trip to Kosi Bay Mouth

Turtle Walks (15 Nov - 15 Jan only)
Guests are driven from the lodge in an open 4x4 vehicle over very rough roads to the beach where they are met by local community guides who will walk them along the beach in search of turtles. These walks are not suitable for children under 8 years old as it is a very rough road and a long walk on the beach at night.
This activity attracts an additional charge and it is weather dependant.
