Exquisite Setting
An enchanted forest of Milkwood trees encapsulates the lodge. Shy samango monkeys forage within its thick leafy canopy which is also home to more than 296 species of bird. Set within the boundaries of the UNESCO World Heritage site of iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Thonga Beach Lodge offers guests miles of unspoilt, dazzling white sandy beach where foamy white waves lap the shoreline and the distinctive smell of the salty ocean fills your nostrils with each breath. Bottlenose dolphins jump and play just beyond the backline, and if you time your stay just right you’ll be privy to the silver moonlight illuminating the sky and bedazzling the sea as it slowly rises over the ocean.
