Rocktail Bay Lodge Description
Rocktail Bay Lodge consists of 11 tree-house chalets (including a family unit). Each en-suite room has its own private balcony and an additional outdoor shower surrounded by indigenous forest. The main lodge area has a lounge and meals are enjoyed either in the separate dining room or on an open wooden deck under the trees. A boardwalk also winds from the Lodge through spectacular, ancient dune forest and down to the beach.
Rocktail Bay Lodge Game Viewing and Activities
At Manzengwenya, 11km south of the camp, Rocktail Bay Lodge has its own fully accredited dive centre where they offer boating excursions out to sea around low tide to enjoy scuba diving (and snorkelling) on the pristine coral reefs offshore. (Dive certification and pre-booking is compulsory for scuba activities). Other lodge activities include fly-fishing, snorkelling, swimming and drives to Black Rock, birding walks and drives and visits to the surrounding community in open 4x4 Land Rovers. During the summer months Rocktail Bay Lodge is integrally involved in ongoing turtle research. Guests are able to accompany the resident turtle expert on research drives at low tide at night helping to monitor the turtles' nesting numbers and behaviour. The sight of a 750kg Leatherback heaving herself up and down the beach to lay her eggs must rate as one of the most moving wildlife experiences anywhere.
