The months of June and July are synonymous with Google searches like \u201cideas to keep my kids busy during holidays,\u201d along with dreads about getting out of the shower and hitting the cold air. We know how school holidays can be, and while everyone heads off to one or other Southern Africa safari lodge, the only place you need to be is on the waterways and exploring the forests at Kosi Forest Lodge, iSimangaliso Wetland Park.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Uninterrupted Family Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll just cut to the chase and start off by saying that there\u2019s no Wi-Fi, but you\u2019ll realise why. At Kosi Forest Lodge, our Netflix equivalent is the theatre of nature surrounding us. Paradise is tangible as we\u2019re located in one of the few remaining parts of the world still preserved, still untouched, and still as nature intended. We\u2019re so proud of our eco-lodge that we\u2019re sure Sir David Attenborough would approve of how we have worked in harmony with nature and local communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong><\/strong>June \/ July School Holidays Sans Winter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Children<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re a Southern Africa rustic yet romantic eco-lodge forgotten by winter\u2019s wrath, with daily temperatures in the mid-20s and the Indian Ocean waters warm and wetsuit-free. However, that doesn\u2019t mean that you should skip the bottle of red; it\u2019s instead an opportunity to enjoy every sip underneath a canopy of trees as opposed to a roaring fire. Of course, come prepared for cooler nights, but still pack the sunblock, bikini and shorts, as this is the place for a water-based bush getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong><\/strong>A Holiday Without Holiday Makers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kosi Forest Lodge <\/a>may be running family holiday specials and discounted rates, but that\u2019s not to say that the crowds have flocked our way. We\u2019re hidden from the world, yet easily accessible from Durban and Johannesburg.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Outdoor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We also have just eight thatched eco-rooms<\/a> – two of which are family suites – which means that even when we are running at full capacity, only twenty lucky people are privileged enough to share our little piece of paradise. The beauty about a stay at Kosi, is that you feel at one with nature, with only canvas and thatch between you and the forest floor. In fact, when you relax in your private outdoor bathroom boma there is nothing but the night sky between you and the moon. Nature lovers and adventurers Kosi Forest Lodge is definitely for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong><\/strong>Family Activities Without Lifting A Finger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Winter School Holidays are filled with activities-induced exhaustion for the kids and entertainer\u2019s fatigue for the parents. When you\u2019re at Kosi Forest Lodge, we take the thinking out of what to do. We\u2019ve got so many nature activities that the only time you\u2019ll have to \u2018get creative\u2019 would be on the drive to us, where a game of \u201cI spy with my little eye\u2026\u201d is what we\u2019d recommend for the last stretch in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
