Rocktail Bay Lodge
Rocktail Bay Lodge is situated in the northern reaches of the iSimangaliso
Wetland Park in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This whole area has
been declared a World Heritage Site. The lodge is a stone's throw from the
warm Indian Ocean and one of the most incredible beaches in South Africa.
Accommodation is in 11 tree-house chalets (including a family unit). Each
en-suite room has its own private balcony and an additional outdoor shower
surrounded by indigenous forest. The main lodge area has a convivial lounge
and meals are enjoyed either in the separate dining room or on an open
wooden deck under an inviting Natal mahogany tree. A boardwalk also winds
from the Lodge through spectacular, ancient dune forest and down to the
beach.
Lodge activities include fly-fishing, snorkeling and diving, swimming and
drives to Black Rock, birding walks and drives and visits to the surrounding
community in open 4x4 Land Rovers. During the summer months Rocktail Bay
Lodge is integrally involved in ongoing turtle research. Guests are able to
accompany the resident turtle expert on research drives at low tide at night
helping to monitor the turtles' nesting numbers and behavior. The sight of a
750kg Leatherback heaving herself up and down the beach to lay her eggs must
rate as one of the most moving wildlife experiences anywhere.
