WEENEN GAME RESERVE...forms the core area of the Thukela Biosphere. Visitors can explore the 6 500-ha reserve along the 47-km network of roads, or follow a fairly easy 4x4 route. Game to be seen includes giraffe, black and white rhino, buffalo, zebra and a variety of antelope, including roan, eland and red hartebeest. The reserve’s bird list stands at 279 species, among them black stork, bald ibis, blue crane, whitethroated robin and redbilled oxpecker. There are three picnic sites, and overnight visitors can either camp in the campsite, opt for the tented camp or book a five-bedded cottage. |
