Transfer to nearby Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg for overnight. Departure after breakfast for Ndumo Game Reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal. We fly to Richard's Bay and then drive north to Ndumo. Once we reach the entrance to the reserve we transfer to an open Landrover for the final part of our drive to Ndumo Wilderness Camp where we stay for two nights.
Accommodation is in large safari-style tents with private bathrooms.
Each tent is on an elevated wooden platform in the riverine forest overlooking Banzi Pan and adjacent marshlands. They are connected to the main recreation and dining complex by a wooden boardwalk. N dumo is rich in birdlife and some of the special birds we could see are Pinkthroated Twinspot, Rudd's Apalis, Narina Trogon, Saddlebilled Stork, Palmnut Vulture and Southern Banded Snake Eagle. There are interesting mammals to see as well , such as both Black and White Rhino, Giraffe, Hippo, Nyala and Red Duiker. Birds to see include Whitebellied Korhaan, Mocking Chat, Ostrich, Black Eagle and many more we would not have seen at the previous destination.
