Each provisional voucher contains the direct contact details of the specific lodge/hotel that the voucher applies to, allowing for simple verification of the authenticity of the voucher and the credentials of Siza Safari. What Is Siza Safari? Siza Safari stems from some very concerned people in the southern African tourism industry wanting to assist accommodation providers and their staff during these very difficult times brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic. With a complete lock down in the short term, severe long term travel restrictions and possible reticence by people to travel even after receiving official sanction to do so, accommodation providers in our region are faced with severe cash flow shortages. These shortages in turn result in the many of thousands of people employed within the accommodation sector facing the very real possibility of becoming unemployed. In the rural areas where most lodges are situated each staff member often supports up to 10 dependents. Without an income these people may have to rely on bush meat sourced through poaching in order to feed their families. Job losses therefore can realistically be expected to have serious ramifications for both people and wildlife and conservation. While we have every faith in the establishments that we have partnered with surviving these turbulent times, the cost for their staff may be too high. These establishments all have a wonderful offering, a great product and their rooms and experiences are in a class of their own. With the relaxing of international restrictions and the opening of all the accommodation establishments, the properties on our site are no longer offering vouchers, but as a result of the tremendous support that they have had from the local market are wanting to reward the loyalty of the South Africans that supported them by offering fantastic Southern African residents' (SADC) rates. These rates are featured on our side and can be booked via Siza Safari. We look forward to hearing from you. "I HAVEN'T BEEN EVERY- WHERE BUT IT'S ON MY LIST."

KwaZulu Natal DESCRIPTION: There are very few truly unspoilt places left in the world. The area surrounding Kosi Forest Lodge is one of them. Conscious of the privilege they have of being situated within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa’s first World Heritage Site, Kosi Forest Lodge has been created in an eco-conscious way, using nature as a guide. The tent-style thatched forest rooms nestle under wide milkwood trees, with thoughtful attention to blending into this pristine indigenous sand forest environment. The lodge facilities are designed to enhance your experience of the exquisite wilderness. To help you make the most of the natural surroundings throughout your stay, the common and private facilities at the lodge are focused on getting you to observe and explore nature as you go about your day.

Each room is set on a raised wooden deck with tented sides and a thatch roof. Each room has a small private deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the forest come alive. Although each room has an indoor shower it is the outdoor bathroom that is the highlight for many. The bathroom boma is encircled by reed screens affording you total privacy while you enjoy an outdoor shower or bath gazing up at the forest canopy with stars twinkling beyond. To truly appreciate the beauty of the unique surrounding ecosystem of waterways, intertwined lakes, grasslands and ancient forests, you need to spend a few days exploring - either by canoe, motorised boat or on foot. With so much to do, your only regret will be not having booked to stay for longer at this otherworldly paradise. Apart from appreciating the hush of the forest setting, there are plenty of activities at the lodge, including boating day trips to the Kosi Lakes and beach, excursions to Kosi Bay mouth to snorkel and observe traditional spiral reed fishing methods. Here are some of the activities on offer: BIRD WATCHING Kosi Forest Lodge is a twitcher’s paradise, with a myriad of enthusiastic feathered friends welcoming you to the soft sand forest. The rich and diverse birdlife in this region comprises forest, riverine, coastal and grassland birds. Birdwatching can be done your entire time at the lodge, not only on organised outings. Whether sipping sundowners at the edge of the pool or strolling by lamplight through the indigenous sand forest to dinner at the fireside boma, you are acutely aware of the privilege of being surrounded by an extensive array of birds. Some of the rare birds are Pel’s fishing owl, palm-nut vulture and nerina trogon. RAFFIA PALM FOREST WALK The Raffia palm is the largest palm in the world, making the unique Raffia forest feel as otherworldly as it is remote. Guests can enjoy early morning or late afternoon guided walks through the magnificent forest, an activity included in the room rate. Listen out for the abundant birdcalls and perhaps catch a glimpse of the rare palm-nut vulture which is regularly seen in the forest canopy. The experienced and passionate guides will delight in showing you all that this pristine natural area has to offer. FAMOUS FISH TRAPS OF KOSI BAY One of the most fascinating features found in Kosi Bay has to be the traditional fishing traps that are still used by the locals to this day. The unique fish kraals used in the Kosi lakes are passed on from generation to generation and used as an income source for families in the area. Each fish kraal is carefully regulated, and the tribal authority will give each family the right to fish in a specific area. You can view the traps and learn more about them on a guided lake tour. TURTLE TRACKING From 15 November to 15 January, our guests have the privilege of tracking mother turtles as they return to the beach to lay their eggs. This is an exciting overnight expedition that involves a 4×4 drive along extremely rough roads, climbing over the sand dunes and combing the beach – all in the hopes of encountering the miraculous sight of a female turtle heaving herself out of the water, finding her ideal nesting site, digging a hole, and going into a hormone-induced trance while she lays her eggs. This activity is not suitable for children under the age of eight years. FULL DAY BOAT TRIPS A full day boat trip is a wonderful way to explore the fascinating lakes and channels, learn about Tsonga fish traps, enjoy a picnic and walk to the pristine Bhanga Nek Beach.
