| Camps | Description | Price Range ($/person/night) | | Rocktail Bay | Rocktail Bay Lodge is situated in northern Natal, within the Maputaland Coastal Forest Reserve and adjoining the Maputaland Marine Reserve. The lodge is situated meters from the Indian Ocean. It offers perhaps the most private and pristine beach experience in South Africa. Accommodation include ten wood and thatch ‘tree-house’ chalets, raised up on stilts into the forest canopy, each with a private wooden deck, private shower and toilet facilities. Guests can enjoy meals in the lounge/pub and dining area or take a dip in the plunge pool. An intricate boardwalk winds from the lodge, through the dune forest and down to the beach. Activities include excursions by 4x4 to secluded bays in the area, snorkeling, beach and forest walks, fishing, and bird-watching. | | | Phinda | Located in the northern sector of the 17,000-hectare Phinda Private Game Reserve, guests enjoy a unique experience at Phinda Forest Lodge. Literally hand-built by local Zulu people to minimize impact on the rare Sand Forest, sixteen stilted en-suite glass chalets, with beechwood and slate floors, air-conditioning and hand towels tied with lichen, float between the forest floor below and towering Torchwood trees above. Guests can relax on the open leisure deck, in the covered lounge and dining area, boma, bar or secluded swimming pool. Activities include game-viewing, birdwatching, boat cruises, canoeing, black rhino tracking at Mkuze, snorkeling, scuba-diving and big game fishing at Sodwana Bay, flights along the coast and game walks. | | | Ndumo | Situated in the Maputoland region of northern Natal and just south of the Mozambique border, Ndumo has often been compared to Botswana’s Okavango Delta. The camp offers eight luxury tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The entire camp, with separate bar/dining area under thatch and swimming pool, is raised up on a wooden deck and linked with a tree canopy walkway several meters above the ground. Guests enjoy excursions in open 4x4 vehicles and on foot to observe the abundant wildlife, particularly over 400 species of birds. | |
