DLINZA FOREST - OVERVIEW Both forests have hiking trails which allow easy access for visitors to enjoy their unique cool atmosphere. Early morning is the best time to visit as the forests echo with bird calls before the heat and cicada beetles take their toll a little later in the day. Shaded picnic sites are available. No entrance fee or booking is required. Accommodation and camping facilities are available at numerous establishments in Eshowe. An interpretive display on the fauna and flora in the area is situated in the Eshowe Fort Museum. The town of Eshowe also forms the epicentre of the Zululand birding route. For more information contact the Eshowe Tourism Association on (035) 4741141. DLINZA FOREST The forest is best known for its birds. Two species in particular, namely the Spotted Thrush and Delegorgues Pigeon, are sought after by birdwatchers in the forest. Numerous other beautiful species such as Green Coucal, Grey Cuckoo Shrike, Narina Trogon, Trumpeter Hornbill, Redbacked Mannikin and Green Twinspot are found in the forest. A picnic site on the western side of the forest provides secluded private barbecue sites and modern ablution facilities. Toilet paper is not provided. While walking, keep a look out for secretive blue duiker and bushbuck which can be seen or heard as they scamper across the forest floor. ENTUMENI FOREST This forest has a particularly high and impressive canopy provided by trees such as the Giant Umzimbeet, Wild Plum and Flatcrowns. Those in turn provide shade for the numerous colonies of plants such as Cycads and Clivias on the forest floor. A rare moth, the Miller's Tiger, which was thought to be extinct, was recently discovered in the grasslands of the Entumeni Forest. |
