Amangwane Kosi Bay
Rustic heaven set in the dunes surrounding Kosi Bay’s lakes
This community camp is a rustic haven. A perfect base for intrepid travellers at the entrance to Kosi Bay.
Accommodation
The camp has evolved from simple dome tents to its current incarnation: Ten simple reed huts with canvas roofs strung out along the treeline.
The rustic reed and canvas chalets, each with twin beds and en-suite toilet and shower, are basic but comfortable.
Linen is provided, but guests are asked to bring their own beach towels and toiletries.

TripAdvisor Reviews
- ~ Magdelvdw Cape Town Central, South Africa“Fantastic Family Holiday” Reviewed July 8, 2012 -Rustic camp with a big heart... Thank you Vusi & team for a wonderful holiday. We had the best time snorkelling in the akwarium and spent a week admiring the beautiful Kosi Bay lakes. We went spearfishing, did a canoe trip round the lakes, got chased by a hippo on a boat trip and spent a day in glorious Mozambique....
