Kosi Bay. Angry hippo, snorkeling, hiking, caught in the rain, foxed by high tide, Mozambique border

An adventure to Kosi Bay in northern KwaZulu Natal, South Africa in April 2023. We stayed at Utshwayelo Lodge right at the entrance to the Kosi Mouth Nature Reserve, glamping in a Turtle Tent with electricity, fridge/freezer, kitchenette and en suite bathroom. We explore up the coast on foot, hiking north for 5 kilometers to the South Africa/Mozambique border on the coast. We find an enormous see louse and R50 note on the beach! Hehehe We participate in the 3 Lakes Boat Cruise exploring the Kosi Estuary and lake system - beautiful pink flamingoes, prawns, and snorkeling in the mangroves. Saw many water monitor lizards and had the wind blow our hair back! Lucky was our guide-par excellence who enthralled us with exciting stories dripping with humour! We hike south down the coast in a torrential downpour and miscalculate the tides, arriving back when high tide had filled the estuary. All in all - an absolutely magnificent adventure! With love, Kerry and Michael MisAdventure Team (sometimes with Miss Lucy Adventure Cat! ;-) )

What an awesome video. I was there for 3 weeks 12 years ago. We had a boat and rods. What an incredible vacation it was. Thanks for bringing my memories into a closer focus.

Thank you so much for your message Niven! I am sure it was even wilder 12 years ago - a very exciting holiday for sure!
