Thonga’s thatched rooms sit within the dune forest above Mabibi Beach in iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The lodge’s coastal setting combines the Indian Ocean, forest shade and a forest-wrapped lounge deck, with room choices planned around the stay.
Marine outings, snorkelling or diving, Lake Sibaya, forest walks and birding offer different ways to explore. Seasonal turtle activity is another possibility. Weather, season, operating conditions and additional charges may apply, so the activities are arranged for your travel dates.
The final approach through the dune forest requires suitable 4×4 arrangements, either by an arranged transfer or an appropriate vehicle. Beach to Bush continues from Thonga to Sungulwane, allowing for both the lodge access transfer and the onward road journey.
A place you’ve always wanted to see. A celebration. A little time away from everything. Your trip starts with a conversation.
