AMATIGULU NATURE RESERVE - TENTED CAMP

 Amatigulu Nature Reserve is a beautiful and serene coastal haven one and a half hours drive north from Durban. Tucked into lush coastal vegetation above the quiet estuary of the Matigulu River, this delightful little reserve has coastal forest, grassland and river frontage that attracts many interesting bird including the rare African Finfoot. 
 
Wildlife species include giraffe, zebra, waterbuck and other smaller antelope species.

All activities are self-guided, giving visitors the freedom to explore the area at their own leisure. Walks, 4x4 vehicle trails and surf angling are popular, while relaxed fishing in the estuary is excellent and provides great fun for the whole family.

Whales are often seen from the whale-watching tower built on the dunes in the reserve from which it is also possible to view game feeding on the forested dunes.

Visitors can canoe up the Nyoni River from the confluence with the Matigulu River and enjoy magnificent birding in the peace and tranquillity of the reserve.

Canoes are available for hire at R50 per day or part thereof and trained bird guides are available from the local community.
Amatigulu Tented Camp now has six 2-bed safari-style tents which command magnificent views over the estuary of the Matigulu River and coastal dunes to the sea. The camp is self-catering, and has a communal ablution facility, kitchen, and living/dining room together with barbecue facilities. Camping facilities in the form of five campsites are also available. Each of these can accommodate 5 people.
