Your Experience
Forget ambling along with large tour groups. At Mkhuze Game Reserve you have the freedom to self-drive and to explore trails of your choice on foot. You get to create your own daily itinerary and craft your own flexible experience. Imagine your nights filled with the resonating call of a lion in the distance. It makes a change from the stressed rumbling of cars on tarred city streets. At this South African nature reserve in KwaZulu-Natal the diverse scenery comes together to create a haven for those looking to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
The dense bush, pans and woodland forests filled with fig trees form natural habitats for all sorts of birds (400 species to be exact) and animals like bush babies, duikers, zebra, giraffe and buffalo. Watch out for those vervet monkeys who have learned to take advantage of easy pickings around the camps.
Other species of animals found in the Mkhuze Game Reserve include black and white rhino, elephant, hyena, and even African wild dog - now on the list of endangered species.
As for meals on the go, why not try the Mantuma Camp Rhino-dine-O? It provides a range of typically South African takeaway type meals. This quirky diner is open around breakfast, at lunch and in the late afternoon.
