Location:

Proclaimed in the 1920's,
Ndumo Game Reserve - formerly known as Ndumu - is one of South
Africa's oldest and more scenic parks.
Situated in northern Natal and
just south of the Mozambique border. Ndumo has often been compared to
Botswana's Okavango Delta. Nyamithi and Banzi Pans, surrounded by
fever trees, are the focal points in the reserve. |
| These pans are on the Pongola
and Usuthu floodplains and attract waterfowl in large numbers.
Ndumo is
not well known, even to many South Africans, as accommodation has
previously been limited. Now, Ndumo Wilderness Camp has been built on the
edge of the Bazi Pan. |

entire camp is raised on a wooden deck and linked with a walkway
several meters above the ground under a canopy of giant fig trees. The

Game Viewing
Activities:
| Ndumo is
considered by many to be the finest bird watching locality in South
Africa. Over 400 species - 60% of South Africa's birds - have been
recorded in the area.
Green Coucal, Gorgeous Bush Shrike, Pinkthroated
Twinspot and African Broadbill are among the Ndumo "specials" resident
throughout the year. |

Good
numbers of Black Rhino, White Rhino, Buffalo, Hippo and Crocodile
occur, while Red Duiker, Giraffe, Nyala and Suni are fairly common.
Time at Ndumo is mostly spent on nature walks through forests of fig
trees and through the bush. Drives in open 4x4 vehicles around the
various pans are a highlight. |
