KZN Wildlife Kosi Bay Office burns down

Kosi Bay Office burns down
November 8, 2006;

The visitor Reception Centre at Kosi Bay Nature Reserve managed by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife burnt to the ground in the early hours of Tuesday 07 November 2006. At 05.00 staff heard the roaring sound of a big fire and rushed to the office, only find the wooden building engulfed in flames.

It was impossible to save the structure and its contents and staff could only watch as it was reduced to ashes within about half an hour. There were no injuries, although all the office equipment was destroyed. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife is conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire, and asks visitors to Kosi Bay to bear with them until temporary arrangements can be put in place.

There will be no cold drink, bait or ice sales until alternative arrangements can be put in place.
