Lake, ocean, and iMfolozi: the ten-night circuit
Ten nights across three ecologies — the lake, the beach, and the Big Five — with every transfer included.
The journey
Makakatana Bay Lodge → Thonga Beach Lodge → Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge
Nights 1–4
Makakatana Bay Lodge
Four nights inside the iSimangaliso Wetland Park set the pace: eco-boat safaris on Lake St Lucia, wetland game drives, and a day on the beach.
Nights 5–7
Thonga Beach Lodge
The middle leg runs north to Mabibi, where the coastal dune forest meets the reef and the schedule loosens to the tide.
Nights 8–10
Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge
The circuit closes at the first private lodge inside Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, with Big Five game drives in the park's rhino heartland.
What's included
- Eco-boat safaris and wetland game drives at Makakatana
- Guided snorkelling on the Mabibi reef, conditions permitting
- Big Five game drives in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi
- All meals at all three lodges
- Every road transfer between the lodges
