iSimangaliso stretches 220 kilometres from Maphelane in the south to the Mozambique border at Kosi Bay, and each of its ten jewels offers a different night. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife runs the state camps inside the Park — the log cabins, chalets and campsites at Cape Vidal, Sodwana Bay, Maphelane, uMkhuze and Charters Creek. Privately run lodges and community camps operate alongside them, several on land returned to local communities through the Park’s land claim settlements, so the money a bed earns stays in the region.
State camps are booked through Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife; private lodges and community camps book directly. Choose your jewel below, then follow the link through to that destination for gate times, access notes and what there is to do once you have unpacked.
