Jozini / Kosi
Bay / Sodwana Bay
The road to
Kozi Bay goes over a high mountain passed Jozini Dam which can be seen below.
There are
many private game reserves in this area situated along its banks and a yearly
Tiger fishing competition is held there.
Kosi Bay
itself is unfortunately not available to anyone not driving a 4x4 vehicle so
was not accessible to us although we stayed there overnight at a lovely caravan
park and early the next morning, headed for Sodwana Bay.
For many
years now, this Bay has been renowned for deep-sea diving and the excellent
fishing so people flock there in droves all year long.
The weather
had changed and it was overcast and rainy so the miles of white, sandy beaches
did not lend itself to sunbathing however at low tide, there are many stretches
of rock exposed which I found a delight to explore.
The tidal
pools are full of tiny fish....
beautiful sea
urchins....
and the
most magnificent stones and shells.
There were
a few Blue Bottles along the water line which people with bare feet have to
watch out for as they STING!! J
The
following day saw no improvement in the weather but we took chairs onto the
beach and watched the boats taking people out to go diving and spent a relaxing
day lounging around.
Of course
we could not help but want to go exploring the rock pools again and after a
long walk on the beach, made our way to the tidal pools again.
We stayed at the Parks Board camping grounds which is huge and as there were not too many people there, we had a marvellous choice of prime spots to choose from.
Gaelyn did
not want to go diving or swimming with the sharks (wonder why?) LOL!! Instead, we
spent more time exploring the rock formations which look like mini mountain
ranges.

That was a really interesting drive. Loved playing in the tidepools.
