About Us
Welcome to Okhanda tours
– Where Nature Meets Community.
Nestled along the pristine shores of northern KwaZulu-Natal, Okhanda Tours is a locally owned and family-run business with a deep-rooted love for our land, wildlife, and people. We specialize in offering unforgettable guided turtle tours, bringing you face to face with the majestic loggerhead and leatherback turtles that return each year to nest on our protected beaches as well as walking tours, boat tours and overnight accommodation.
Okhanda Tours was founded by a passionate local family man who grew up exploring the sands, forests, and estuaries of this untouched corner of South Africa. With generations of local knowledge and a lifelong commitment to wildlife conservation, we have made it our mission to share the magic of Kosi Bay with visitors from all over the world — while ensuring our environment and community thrive.

We are deeply committed to protecting endangered sea turtles and their fragile nesting grounds. All our tours follow ethical, low-impact practices and are conducted in collaboration with local conservation authorities.
02
As a proud local business, we prioritize hiring and training guides from our surrounding communities, creating opportunities and sustainable livelihoods. A portion of all proceeds goes toward local education and environmental programs.

Our safaris are more than tours – they are stories passed down, traditions respected, and nature honored. We strive to provide immersive, respectful, and enlightening experiences that leave a lasting impression on every guest.
