About Turtle Tracking in Kosi Bay

Turtle tracking is offered every night from 15 November to 15 January at Kosi Forest Lodge in Kosi Bay. These excursions (including transfers to and from the beach) can last up to 3 to 4hrs and may return very late.

Giant Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles make their way home having swum the length of the continent in a return journey to the beach where they were born.

Research has shown that eggs are often laid within meters of where the mother emerged as a hatchling years previously. Guests are able to view these magnificent creatures meters from where she is laying. Utmost precaution is taken to ensure that she is not disturbed.

Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles venture out of the oceans on land during the summer months Oct - Feb to lay batches of eggs on the beach. These fascinating creatures are highly endangered and this walking tour is rated as one of the top wildlife experiences.
