Sodwana Bay Lodge

Morning walks, salt air, and the ocean’s little masterpieces. Find your calm—and maybe a shell or two—at Sodwana Bay Lodge.

On a recent dive by our diving partner Adventure Mania to Sodwana Bay’s caves and overhangs, they had the pleasure of bumping into one of the reef’s best-dressed residents: the Threadfin Butterflyfish (Chaetodon auriga).

Next time you see hatchlings scrabbling towards the surf at Sodwana during one of Sodwana Bay Lodge’s famed Turtle Tours from November until March, remember: their story doesn’t end in the waves.

For us at Sodwana Bay Lodge, supporting turtle conservation isn’t a marketing slogan—it’s part of living in harmony with the extraordinary place we call home.

A discovery centuries in the making! A fragile, rare rhodolith bed has been found in iSimangaliso’s twilight depths – and it needs protection. Dive into the story.
