Guests arrive. Friends leave.

My husband and I visited Sakatia Lodge for the first time in December 2016. We had a memorable week's holiday. Our second visit was just as good and very relaxing. We stayed in one of the new luxury Glamping Tents, comfortable and spacious with a large bathroom. The snorkelling with Green Turtles was such a wonderful experience.

The Crawfords, South Africa Repeat visit · Glamping

This is by far one of the best options if you are a scuba diver looking for something out of this world. The dive center offers night diving with fluoro diving — purple lights and orange filters for viewing. The lodge is very well cared for with top-notch professional staff.

Gregory K., South Africa Dive stay

This place is pure magic. Jean Michel and his team were so helpful, warm and welcoming. We honestly felt like family, the vibes were high and it's a great place to meet like-minded travellers. There is a rustic charm here that makes you feel at home.
