Experience Rocktail

Wilderness Safaris’ Rocktail is South Africa’s most pristine and exclusive tropical beach experience. Located between Kosi Bay and Sodwana in the pristine Maputaland Coastal Forest of northern KwaZulu-Natal, Rocktail features a 40km stretch of untouched, golden coastline and offers one of the best coral reef diving experiences in southern Africa. Every summer, hundreds of leatherback and loggerhead turtles emerge from the ocean to lay their eggs – incredibly returning to the exact beach on which they themselves hatched. Guests can witness this amazing spectacle, and also enjoy an array of other activities, such as quad biking, snorkelling, forest walks and fishing.
