AMATIGULU NATURE RESERVE - OVERVIEW
Amatigulu Nature Reserve is situated on the Indian Ocean coastline in Northern KwaZulu-Natal
between the Tugela and Amatikulu River mouths. The Reserve is approximately 100 km from Durban and
is one of the few places in Southern Africa where wildlife can be viewed feeding on forested dunes
overlooking the sea.
Visitors can indulge in a variety of game drives (4 X 4 required) and self-guided walks
through the many vegetation types found in the reserve. The Coastal Forest grasslands and rivers
attract much birdlife, including the rare african finfoot, and populations of giraffe, zebra,
waterbuck and smaller antelope occur in the reserve. Other activities include canoeing on the
Amatigulu Estuary and Nyoni River and easy access to the beach where surf angling is good.
Fishing in the estuary is also extremely rewarding and a whale and game watching tower is
situated quite close to the camp. Amatigulu Tented Camp is built on wooded platforms overlooking
the Amatikulu River and has a panoramic view of the sea. This self catering bushcamp has six
comfortable and spacious 2-bedded tents furnished to rest camp standards and serviced daily. A
communal ablution block, connected to the units by a boardwalk, has both hot and cold water with
showers, toilets and handbasins. The Camp's kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, fridge and
freezer as well as a good supply of crockery and cutlery. Visitors can prepare their food in the
kitchen or they may cook it at the specially provided barbecue area. The dining area is furnished
with tables and benches.
Canoes are available for hire at R50 per day or part thereof and birders can hire trained bird
guides from the local community.
