5 Good Reasons to Book at Thonga Beach Lodge

Robinson Crusoe goes percale in these glass-fronted, thatched bush huts situated right at the pristine Mabibi beach in Northern KwaZulu-Natal. Here are our top 5 reasons to book a stay at Thonga Beach Lodge

Reason 1: The unspoilt golden beach of Mabibi is one of the cleanest, most beautiful beaches in the world, as it stretches forever to the North and South within the protection of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.

Reason 2: The snorkeling right at the lodge and by boat to nearby safe coral atolls reveals a world of diverse oceanic life, including dolphins and turtles.

Happyish?

Reason 3: Thonga Beach Lodge is proud of its privileged position in protecting turtles and their nesting sites stretch along the shores right at the lodge and beyond.
