Big Skies

At Big Skies, we proudly manage three lodges that prioritise community engagement and promote harmony with the natural world. Each lodge offers a distinct and unforgettable experience that celebrates the beauty of Maputaland.

What we offer

  • Baby sea turtles on a sandy beach heading towards the ocean.

    Turtle Tours

    Between November and March our coastline is the nesting grounds for Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles.

  • Three people wearing snorkeling gear standing in the ocean near a sandy beach with greenery in the background.

    Snorkeling

    Experience warm waters, topical fish and family friendly snorkeling at Lala Nek beach.

  • A serene landscape featuring a tranquil body of water with makeshift wooden fish traps. Green vegetation lines the far shore under a clear blue sky.

    Boat Tours

    See the beautiful, ancient fish traps of Kosi Bay and snorkel in the lakes.

  • Three people in swimwear having a picnic on a beach with food on a table, including fruits and snacks. Surfboards are standing nearby, and the ocean is in the background.
