A secluded beach lodge in a protected reserve on the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Imagine staying in a thatched bush suite, with a coastal dune forest at your back and, through the vegetation below you, the wide and lovely Indian Ocean. That's what's on offer at Thonga Beach Lodge in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Tucked into the trees just a stroll away from pristine Mabibi beach, Thonga Beach offers access to some of the best snorkelling and off-shore scuba diving in the country. Depending on the time of year, you can also watch turtles laying eggs or swim with dolphins. The accommodation is luxurious, with everything you need at your fingertips, and the service and meals are faultless.

Enjoy the best of both beach and safari at this secluded lodge on Lake St Lucia.

Makakatana Bay Lodge lies along the shores of Lake St. Lucia, deep within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park – a pristine World Heritage Site on the eastern coastline of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province. It's one of the country’s most ecologically diverse regions, with a mix of coastal dune forest, rolling grasslands and lush wetlands stretching across to the untouched Indian Ocean shoreline. This intimate lodge – with just six rooms and two family suites – is a fabulous spot to relax for a few days and explore this magnificent landscape on game drives, guided walks, boat cruises and beach safaris.
