Big Skies Gugs

Maputaland Marine Protected Area, South Africa

About Big Skies Gugs

In season, passing humpback whales can be spotted from Big Skies Gugs strategic location, just 4km inland. Quite different in feel to the sultry seaside forest, this camp is noted for the beauty of the early morning and late afternoon light shining on the surrounding sea of grass. Situated above the superb snorkelling site at Lala Nek, Gugs provides everything for the ideal family-and-friends holiday. The open, airy location lends itself to daydreaming, while kids can burn off their excess energy in safety. Guests can enjoy the 8 en-suite rooms including 1 family room with 2 bedrooms and a shared bathroom, as well as the bar, kitchen, lounge, pool deck and boma. When the ocean calls, a short 4×4 drive brings guests to endless beaches, rockpools, and all the wildlife-spotting possibilities that Maputaland offers.
