Amangwane is a rustic camp with basic rather than luxurious facilitiesd. It was established as a community development joint venture, with a large proportion of the profits going towards the local community. The main emphasis is on outdoor activities including game drives, guided walks, canoeing and boat trips. Amangwane is situated in Kosi Bay on the northern coastline of KwaZulu Natal.
Accommodation is in 10 reed chalets, each with twin beds and ensuite bathroom. There is a lapa area with a camp fire where guests can enjoy drinks and meals and share their experiences of the day gone and expectations of days to come.
Kosi Bay is a region of coastal dunes, sandy beaches, swamp forests and mangroves and is a great haven for wildlife and birdlife, with over 250 species of birds. The warm, clear waters are ideal for snorkelling. Canoeing and boat cruises are other great ways to explore this fascinating area. Kosi Bay is known for its populations of Loggerhead and Leatherback Turtles. During the months of November through to February the females come ashore to lay their eggs, a wonderful spectacle to behold. Amangwane offers walks led by experienced guides on trails near the camp from an hour to a full day in duration. Game viewing in nearby Tembe Elephant Park and Ndumo is another popular activity, giving guests the chance to sopt the Big 5. The camp also organises trips over the Mozambique border to Ponta D'ora for boat rides and swimming with dolphins. The camp has very strong links with the local community and guests are welcome to visit villages and schools during their stay.
