UP AND ABOUT
FROM WATER SPORTS TO SIGHTSEEING YOU GOT IT ALL!MAZIWE ISLAND
TURTLE HATCHING
Maziwe Marine Reserve is a turtle breeding ground of utmost importance. Due to sand erosion on the island the turtle nests get covered by the high tide and the nests are doomed. A relocation project sees the nests located to the mainland where they have a chance of survival. The turtles that hatch from Ushongo beach will return here to nest in future, ensuring the survival of the species. Witness this bucket list worthy event and hear about our conservation efforts from the marine team first hand.
