Local Tonga traditions are many and varied. People in the area are very friendly and proud of their traditions. Guests are encouraged to take part in these cultural excursions, from talks on the Tonga fishtraps (standing knee-deep in the turquoise Kosi Lake!) to iLala Palm-wine making demonstrations.

Kosi Forest Lodge guests are accommodated in luxurious thatched units, well hidden in the sandforest. The unique open-air en-suite bathrooms have been noted by guests as one of the highlights of their visit. Mosquito netting lines each bedroom.
