Thonga Beach Lodge

Set on the pristine shores of the Maputaland coast, this luxury lodge is the ideal place to discover one of the last unspoilt and undeveloped wilderness beaches left on the African continent. Mabibi is a magical place of tranquil swimming bays and snorkeling reefs, coastal forests, grasslands, bush, shimmering lakes and exquisite sandy beaches. Its clear, warm waters offer unparallelled snorkeling and fantastic offshore scuba diving.

12 suites in Robinson Crusoe-chic! Breakdown of each room: Double Vanity, Stone Bath, Indoor shower, Bar Fridge, Air con, Ceiling Fan, Mosquito Net, Balcony. The thatched en-suite rooms have been carefully constructed in the coastal dune forest to ensure minimum impact on the environment and guest privacy as well as offering breathtaking views of the natural surroundings. All suites are air-conditioned. Our lounge, nestled high in the canopy of the dune forest, offers panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, alternatively enjoy sun-downers in the bar lounge or the cool deck under the Coastal Milkwood trees.

For the more active there’s guided forest walks, kayaking on Lake Sibaya, glorious sun-downers and cultural tours through the Tsonga community. From November to February, witness the amazing sight of giant Leather-back and Loggerhead turtles struggling up the beach to lay their eggs. These magnificent creatures, having swum the length of the African continent, return every year to the beach where they hatched.
