Weekend Escape — 2-Night Private Campsite in Kosi Bay (Exclusive-Use)

Sneak away to Miggo’s Private Camp — Kosi Bay Mouth for a 2-night weekend that feels like a week. Book the entire campsite for your group and explore with a private guide who times activities to tides, light and weather. It’s off-grid, exclusive-use camping in quiet coastal forest, about a 40-minute walk from the Kosi Bay Mouth estuary (iSimangaliso).

The 2-Night Fast Plan (Typical Fri–Sun)

Friday (Arrive & Exhale)

Saturday (Unhurried “Big Day”)

• Midday: Rest/lunch; siesta in the coastal-forest shade.

• Late afternoon: Snorkel at the clearest tide or short forest/dune walk to a lookout.

• Evening: Firelight, stories; in turtle season we may swap the late session for a permitted turtle night (extra).

Sunday (One More Hit of Nature)

• Dawn/early: quick birding stroll or snorkel on the push.
