Why visit Kosi Bay Mouth?

Kosi Bay Mouth is situated in the far north-eastern corner of kwaZulu-Natal, a mere 4km from the border of Mozambique. The Kosi lake system is made up of four interlinking lakes and a long shallow estuary that link it with the warm Indian ocean via the mouth. It is here at the mouth where all the magic happen! 

The famous snorkeling area is known as “The Aquarium” where we have identified just over 200 different species on our Snorkeling Adventures. The estuary, due to its shallow nature, offers perfect kayaking conditions around the mangrove forests and into river Kukalwe.
