The 10117 hectare Ndumo Game Reserve in northern KZN is a bird lovers paradise with the extensive pans and riverine trees (giant Figs and Acacia), providing an ideal habitat. The large game species are not easily found and this has been exacerbated by poaching and drought. There are self catering and camping facilities in a well cared for area. The facilities all have communal ablutions and entertainment area. A swimming pool adds a necessary facility in the hot summers. There are a number of beautiful drives, one being along the riverine forest and another to the picnic site overlooking the Usuthu River. Most birders spend many hours in the hides overlooking the vast pans.
