SKYLINE NATURE RESERVE - OVERVIEW
Known for its arboretum, this reserve is situated conveniently between Uvongo and Margate.
Founded in 1962, Skyline Nature Reserve includes 76 indigenous coastal tree species, about 300
other indigenous trees and 400 exotic tree species. A series of one-hour self-guided trails are
demarcated.
Although game such as blue and grey duiker, and bushbuck occur, the emphasis is on botanical
species. Most tree species are clearly labelled.
Skyline is an ideal venue for an easy walk or picnic and an escape from the beach when the
weather is inclement. Please note that there are no ablution facilities and though people may
picnic there are no barbacue facilities. No charge is levied to enter the reserve. School groups
should contact the Officer-in-Charge on Tel : 039 3150112 for special arrangements.
