GweGwe Beach Lodge, Mkambati Nature Reserve, South Africa

A Luxury Lodge or Hotel in South Africa

Camp Details

If your idea of paradise involves unspoiled landscapes, pristine coastlines, and a symphony of nature’s wonders, then pack your bags and set your compass to GweGwe Beach Lodge in the Mkambati Nature Reserve. A hidden gem along the Wild Coast in South Africa, this is where luxury and adventure take centre stage. There are not many places in the world you can watch wildlife on land and dolphins (and even whales) offshore.

Situated on a stretch of coastline that is as untamed as it is beautiful, between the dramatic cliffs, tumbling waterfalls, pockets of dense swamp forest and crystal-clear waters, you can enjoy a day of wildlife watching, beaching and exploring, before being lulled to sleep by the Indian Ocean. Arrive by plane, heli, boat or self-drive – there really is no excuse not to get here!

WHY CHOOSE GWEGWE BEACH LODGE?

• This is one of the few places on earth you can watch zebra’s grazing and dolphin surfing (and even whales breaching) at the same time.
• Swim, hike, cycle, snorkel, kayak, SUP, spa, hot tub, game watch… the activities here are off the charts.
• Flanked by a marine protected area, this is one of the planet’s most important global hotspots for biodiversity.
• Your stay at GweGwe directly benefits the land and local community – so your visit truly matters.
• This is a gloriously remote high-end coastal lodge where adventure and the chance to unwind abounds.
• Easy to get to. A wonderful 20 minute scenic helicopter flight from Margate is recommended to GweGwe. This connects with CemAir’s daily scheduled flight from JHB.
• Otherwise fly in – it’s a 45 minute flight from Durban or the adventurous can enjoy a 75 minute boat ride in from Port Edward or self-drive… whatever way the adventure awaits.
• Ideal for couples, adventure seekers and families with kids who want to roam free.
• Enjoy feet-in-sand dining experiences and fresh from farm to table meals. This is homegrown happiness on a plate (or picnic).
