Hiking Trails - Kosi Bay

Maputaland region is in pristine condition because it can only be accessed with a 4x4 vehicle. But by hiking from camp to camp you can see many of the biospheres that make this area special. You will walk along sand forests, dune forests, savannah, wetlands, cross rivers and stroll along isolated beaches. At each camp you will experience a different feel and may take part in various optional activities.

CAMPS

• Willie and Isabelle are your hosts at Maputaland Bush Camp and they offer a hint of Belgian cuisine.
• Arrie and Helena will be your hosts at Amanzimyama Camp with their open fire kitchen dishes.
• Kosi Bay Lodge has self cater facilities and a restaurant on the premises.

OTHER ROUTES
if you have less or more time available please tell me and we extend or alter the trail accordingly. Some of the routes can be daunting. Hiking 15km on a beach against a wind at high tide is not ideal. The hike can be done in fewer days by shortening the route, using transfers by vehicle or being fetched by a boat (these options have to be organized in advance).
