  • The Siphiso valley is good for viewing herds of wildebeest, zebra and impala. The distribution of game changes according to season, water points and burning.
  • Mbuluzi gorge is accessible by car and offers attractive river scenery with interesting plant and bird-life, fishing spots and crocodiles.
  • Mahlabashana gorge can be reached by foot from the Mbuluzi valley road. Rare plants, cycads, Lubombo ironwood forests and uncommon birds are a feature of this gorge.
  • Python pool is scoured out of a spectacular rocky gorge and is swimable during rainy summers. Look out for klipspringer, large Pythons and some interesting Lizards as well as uncommon plants. Hyena pool is a small dam on the southern end of Siphiso river valley.
