TOUR DESCRIPTION

This tour includes 3 nature reserves, Pigeon Valley Nature Reserve, Durban Botanical Gardens and Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve.

Pigeon Valley is a little 10 hectare nature reserve in the center of Durban is named for the Eastern Bronze-naped (Delegorgue's) Pigeon, which was originally gathered here and documented by Delegorgue in 1847. It is considered to be one of KwaZulu-Natal's top birdwatching locations. A small portion of the once-vast Stella bush, which formerly covered a significant portion of the Berea, is preserved in the reserve. The vegetation is typical of climax coastal lowland forest, with several spectacular tree species—especially the uncommon Natal Elm, for which the reserve was first established—representing the forest. Look for Spotted Ground Thrush, Buff-spotted Flufftail, Green Malkoha, Green Twinspot.

The Durban National Botanical Gardens, spanning more than 50 hectares, is situated at the foot of Berea, sandwiched between St Thomas and Sydenham Roads. Its park-like grounds are home to an array of fascinating species from all across South Africa and beyond. The tranquility and beauty of these gardens, which feature large trees, bright grass, and vibrant flora in a rich forest environment, are noteworthy. A little lake surrounded by fascinating vegetation, such as papyrus, decorative bananas, and raffia palms, is an added feature. Look for Black Sparrowhawk, Pink-backed Pelican, Red-backed Mannikin, Red-capped Robin-chat, White-eared Barbet, Purple-crested Turaco.

Located just north of Durban center, near the northern tip of Umhlanga Rocks, is the comparatively pristine estuary known as the Umhlanga River. A short trail offers an easy and enjoyable stroll while passing through the preserved dune forest and crossing the lagoon. The track covers a variety of habitats and the key species to look for are Green Malkoha, Spotted Ground-thrush, Olive Woodpecker, Crested Guineafowl.
