Zongoene Lodge is situated approximately 192 km from Maputo just south of Xai Xai, this unique lodge is built on the edge of the Limpopo River at the estuary where it flows into the Indian Ocean. Sand dunes stretch in both directions along the coast and the flood plains of the river extend behind the lodge to the main road. A 4x4 is recomended.

Trails through a coastal forest rich in flora and fauna lead to a 100 year old lighthouse with
magnificent views of the surrounding area. The bird watching in this area is outstanding.
