Thongaland with its rich diversity has been kept a secret for many generations. As the rest of South Africa developed as a travel destination, the land of the amaThonga people was overlooked and remained pure. Thongaland, where the Tembe clan went to hide from Shaka and his warriors, is situated in the far northern part of kwaZulu Natal - stretching from St Lucia in the south, Swaziland in the west, Mozambique in the north and the vibrant warm water of the Indian ocean on the east. It is here where the wilderness spirit within us all get kindled and the soul can but only laugh!

GO WHERE NO OTHER MAN IS..
"Go into the wilderness where once you dwelled. Pay your respect to that which has remained - has had no choice but to remain. Let what surrounds you become part of you. Feel the earth beneath, smell the air around, hear the vibrancy of survival. Open your every sense, become part of nature, not an onlooker, nor an uninterested bystander. And nature will become part of you, a part that can never be removed. Go where no other man is, Go into the wilderness and you will never again be the same." - Cindy Bradburn
Testimonials
Kosi Bay Adventure
Visited August 2019When planning our Kosi Bay Adventure weeks in advance and from the other hemisphere, we had very high expectations but felt that we were going somewhat into the unknown. Now a week after the end of the tour we can honestly say that the tour exceeded all our expectations -becoming the best experience ever for the whole family (parents + 2 children, aged 10 and 12). Our guide, Rick, was simply amazing. Not only was the tour (packed with all kinds of wonderful wilderness adventures) extremely well organized in all it’s details, but the infinite knowledge that Rick generously shared with us during the whole trip gave us the key to understand everything we saw, from botany to zoology and geography, to story of South Africa and it’s various ethnical groups, to food to behaviour of the sea… The whole family was literally enchanted and we hope to be able to come back and visit Thongaland again with Rick and Elise.
Thongaland Snorkeling Adventure
Visited November 2019The perfect example of a great company, especially sustainability! 🙂 the guides are knowledgeable, friendly and focused on safety. Drinks and food are super tasty (and no single use plastics, this made me so happy!)
We learned a lot about the beautiful ocean life and wetlands animals. It was the perfect trip. Thanks!
