UMHLANGA NATURE RESERVE

UMHLANGA NATURE RESERVE



After our morning visit to stanger we took a walk through the umhlanga nature reserve, it was brutally hot and humid but we managed to see a few goodies including the black throated wattle eye.

The umhlanga lagoon nature reserve borders the northern section of umhlanga rocks. It’s here that the beachfront o'connor promenade ends and where the umhlanga lagoon nature trail begins. This is a must do trail for keen walkers and nature lovers. A well-marked footpath meanders through pristine coastal forest to boardwalks that span the ohlange river. Vervet monkeys, tiny antelope and a kaleidoscope of butterflies and birds can be seen. Look out for rare coastal red milkwood trees and blue duiker antelope. A stone age midden can be found near the lagoon, a popular spot for parasailing and windsurfing
