Rocktail Beach Camp lies in the lush, tropical shade of the Maputaland Coastal Forest covering the ancient dunes that make up the edge of South Africa's KwaZulu Natal coast. With the Maputaland Marine Reserve just offshore and the beach a leisurely 15-minute walk from the camp, there are world-class diving and snorkelling, remote, unspoilt beaches and other beach adventures to be had. This is not a traditional 'big game' area, but the camp is situated within a pristine coastal forest reserve which abounds with a variety of animals, birds and plant life that provide a natural counterpoint to the bushveld. The camp consists of 12 rooms (including 3 family units), most of which have a view of the ocean. All have en-suite bathrooms, open-feel indoor shower and overhead fans. Rocktail Beach Camp also has a central dining room, bar and lounge with large wrap-around verandah and pool. A board-walk over the dunes links the camp to the beach. From a scuba diving perspective, Rocktail Bay is unique. The reef systems here are amongst the most pristine in the world, boasting healthy soft and hard corals, and the reserve provides sanctuary for marine life with extraordinary diving and snorkelling encounters with huge shoals of fish, dolphins and whales. Not only is the diving conducted within a Reserve and World Heritage Site along unspoiled reefs, but divers have the luxury of knowing that they alone have access to these sites and are the only underwater visitors along this stretch of the coastline.
