Is it for you?
With a mixture of wildlife viewing and coastal/marine-orientated activities, and fabulous beaches to chill out on, this really is for anyone. It suits families (though not with very young children - 7yrs plus is about right). The Kosi Bay camp is very basic, so this is a no-frills experience which won't be everyone's cup of tea. However the friendliness of the people and the experiences you'll have here are memorable.
Best time
The rainy season here is from about October to March (though the rainiest months tend to be January and February). This is also the hottest time, with average midday temperatures of about 29 F& 76 C. From April to October it rains little and is cooler. For example in July the average midday temperature is about 23 F and 76C and 11 F at night. So this usually makes for pleasant days of sun then chilly nights. At Ponta Oura, bottlenose dolphins are around all year, whales from July-November, turtles from October to March, whale sharks from September to February.
