The Msikaba Adventure Camp is located at the mouth of the Msikaba River – with the wonderful Mkambati Game Reserve on the other bank. The reserve itself is easy to access – sometimes you can walk over at low tide – or simply row across. It is an adventure wonderland, with copious waterfalls and small streams making their way to the sea, and sights of wildebeest and other animals are frequent. Going the other way, it is a short hike to Lambazi Bay (Port Grosvenor), and fishing – as with the entire coastline – is amazing. The units themselves, as well as the communal area, are protected by vegetation and are somewhat protected from the elements.

• Beach (note there are no shark nets)
• Day walks (the camp is on the border of Mkambathi Nature reserve – you are welcome to walk across the lagoon into the park)
• The tide changes do influence the estuary mouth, please take note of the tide times
• Fishing – bring your own rods and bait (please note that you may not store bait in our freezers/coolers). There is no fishing allowed north of the lagoon or in the Msikaba estuary – fishing permits are required)
• Canoeing – a R250 refundable deposit and a R50 per day hire fee, obtain receipt from camp manager. You are welcome to take the canoes onto the Msikaba river – please don’t take them out to see, they are not designed for use on the ocean).
