Mhkuze Game Reserve, a place of great beauty and high contrasts, is world renowned as a mecca for bird lovers. The reserve, proclaimed a protected area in 1912, constitutes the north western spur of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. Predominantly flat and dry, with sandy red ridges (ancient dunes), it harbours an astonishing diversity of natural habitats, ranging from the eastern slopes of the
Lebombo mountain range, to broad stretches of gently rolling acacia

		savannah, swamps and a variety of woodlands and riverine forest. Two pans, Nhlonhlela in the north, and Nsumo in the south, lined with water lilies in summer and fringed by a haze of pale green fever trees, home to the hippo and crocodile, attract a magnificent spectacle of bird life. The Mkhuze Game Reserve has 100km of tourist roads for game drives, as well as
several picnic sites and six superbly placed hides to view the wealth of
