Why stay here
A coastal-forest camp near Lala Nek
Gugs is the more social of the two Big Skies camps: simple tented rooms around shared spaces, an open-air lounge, a plunge pool, a forest boma and long outdoor dinners. Much of it was built with and by the surrounding community, down to the bar, which was put together from materials salvaged from the old camp.
From Gugs
Out of camp. Into Maputaland.
Gugs is designed around getting out. Most scheduled experiences are included, so a stay naturally drifts between the lakes, the beach, the forest and community life.
Included
Beach day
Shelter, picnic basket and an unhurried day on the Maputaland coast.
Turtle tracking
Seasonal guided walks or drives to look for loggerhead and leatherback turtles.
Snorkelling
A guided visit to the rock pools and warm-water marine life at nearby Lala Nek.
Walks & hikes
Paths around camp, on your own or with a guide.
Community life
Visit KwaMpukane, meet local residents and share injemane and shisanyama.
