Turtle hatchlings

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.

Nestled behind the world's highest vegetated sand dunes and just 6 km from the beach, Sodwana Bay Lodge offers an opportunity for nature lovers to witness the remarkable life cycle of two endangered turtle species—the massive leatherback and the smaller, but equally resilient, loggerhead.
