Activities
HIKES
MANGROVE & CWEBENI HIKE
Unique ecosystem!
See the Red, Black and White Mangroves in all their glory, plus a leisurely kayak trip through the swamps to the Umngazana River Mouth.
The Mngazana Mangrove is the third largest forest in South Africa. Bees are attracted to the Black Mangroves which has led to the formation of the Cwebeni Village Bee Farming Project, located on the hill above the Mangroves. The honey has a distinct sweet & sour flavour and is available for sale in the Umngazi shop (seasonal).
SUGAR LOAF HIKE
Breathtaking scenery!
The hike takes you along Sugar Loaf hill parallel to the Indian Ocean.
You’ll pass an area called Umblolombo where the famous Horizon Ship sank in 1967. The blue & red lights situated in the hotel bar were salvaged from this wreck. Wind your way down to the ocean or stay at the top of the hill and admire the views.
