Here, between Kosi Bay and Sodwana Bay lies an area that is wild, without any development and Rocktail Bay lies in the centre. This whole region has been declared a World Heritage Site. The lodge is situated metres inland from the warm Indian Ocean and some of the most incredible beaches in all of South Africa.
Situated offshore from Rocktail Bay is the Maputaland Marine Reserve, which offers an additional sanctuary for wildlife, diving and snorkelling with exciting encounters of the huge shoals of fish, dolphins and whales.

Malaria within South Africa's borders is only prevalent in a few areas. Its encountered mainly in northern and eastern Mpumalanga, northern Kwa-Zulu Natal, and the border areas of the Northern and North West Provinces. Malaria is also common in the lower lying areas of Swaziland. It can also be found throughout Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and much of Botswana. Northern Namibia is also a malaria area. Should you be visiting these areas, malaria precautions are advised.
Its very important that you drink plenty of water especially during the warmer months.
