Oribi Gorge Nature...

Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve.

Nearby St.Michaels-on-sea lie two very beautytiful Nature Reserves, Oribi Gorge NR and Umtamvuna NR.
The first is about 20 km west of Port Shepstone. You get a map at the entrance with several walks described. When we were there the weather was, after last days storm, sunny and warm.
It is a beautiful park for a hike, you can also drive through the park, there is one paved road for cars. Birds, trees, flowers. And a picnic near a stream with big stones.

Umtamvuna Nature...

Umtamvuna Nature Reserve.

Umtamvuna NR. is the southernmost nature reserve in Kwazulu-Natal, near the Transkei border. A forest and steep rocky cliffs border the Umtamvuna River.
Again we get a map at the entrance and we can do several trails. It is so quiet, only the sounds of birds. Many different trees and flowers. It is a warm day again, but we walk under the leaves of the trees in a marvellous green paradise.
When you visit southern Kwazulu-Natal please don't miss it.
