Umfolozi Game Reserve
|
|
The Umfolozi Game Reserve consists mainly of savanna country, with some areas of dense bush. There are taller trees along the banks of the Mfolozi Emnyana (Black) and Mfolozi Emhlope (White) Rivers, which join within the reserve.
Only about half the reserve can be explored by car. An area of 240sq.km/93sq.mi can be seen only on guided walks. (These walks on Wilderness Trails, led by experienced game wardens, take between 3 and 5 days, with overnight accommodation in tents in the bush; they are usually fully booked months in advance.)
R 618 leads to the main entrance to the reserve. Alternatively there is a road from Ulundi to the Cengeni Gate on the west side of the reserve.
Umfolozi Mosaic Auto Trail
A tour of the northern part of the reserve on this trail (67km/42mi) takes 4-5 hours. A leaflet showing the route and the game-watching points can be obtained at the entrance to the reserve.
