The food is very good and the staff very friendly. The location secluded and peaceful, middle of a forest with resident bushbaby and vervet monkeys, as well as a plethora of birds and insects..now the less positive..The rooms are fine, although not particularly great, think tent on stilts with a wooden platform and the view of the lake is OK;...

Photographs cannot do this lodge justice - it is one of those places you must experience with all senses. Bathing in an outdoor bath whilst watching the stars and awakened by birdsong is what the African experience is all about. The decor in the lodge and units is ambient with local art - the fish traps cleverly used for soft... More

My sister and I stayed at Kosi Forest Lodge for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip to South Africa, and it was wonderful! The atmosphere is perfect -- very comfortable and luxurious while still feeling like a part of the beautiful natural surroundings. The tent was gorgeous and very private -- the outdoor bath under the stars a... More

Wonderful eco lodge, tents are beautiful and far from being old fashioned as I read in some travel guides! Bathroom is great with outside shower AND bath! Service is perfect, food is delicious and the nature surrounding the lodge is beautiful. You have to stay 2 nights to make the full day excursion on the lakes. This is an amazing... More

What a fantastic place. Ilana, Chris and George (the guide) you all really made it a pleasurable experience.

The rooms don’t have electricity but the lamps and candles make the place. The walk ways to... More

The food was magic - truly fantastic in both presentation and taste. We were there during the off-season and loved the solitude and tranquility. If you are looking for... More

A stunning way to experience South Africa and it's rich culture! The scenery is beautiful, the service excellent. There are only 8 "tent rooms", sheer luxury, situated far apart with a thatch fenced outside bathroom where the moon is your light and the seasand the floor! Very economical without giving up any star qualities - all meals and activities are... More

Kosi Forest Lodge was the first of three places in South Africa that we stayed on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint in any way. We were there for 4 nights and the hotel was beautiful, very remote and tranquil with a real sense of calm which was exactly what we wanted. It had been recommended by Jen our... More
