Mkuze Game Reserve

Mkuze Game Reserve is especially interesting for bird watchi

Mkuze Game Reserve (also spelt Mkhuze) was proclaimed a protected area on 15 February 1912. This 360 km² reserve is situated in northern Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Mkuze Game Reserve has a diversity of natural habitats which include acacia savannah, mixed woodland, sand forest, riverine forest, rivers and pans, grassland, cliffs and rocky ridges which makes Mukze Game Reserve a bird watching paradise.

Mkuze Game Reserve is an area of great contrasts with an interesting range of habitats. There are low lying hollows adjacent to ancient red sand dunes ridges and broad stretches of gently rolling acacia savannah. Two shallow water pans, Inhlonhlela and Insumo lie in the north and east, and are lined with water lilies in summer attract hippos, crocodiles and considerable bird life.

The Mkuze Game Reserve is open to the public for self drive safaris, and the trail through one of Africas last remaining unspoiled fig tree forests is very popular. There are three observation platforms in the reserve overlooking pans and waterholes where animals come to drink
