Mpenjati Nature Reserve, Protected coastal area in KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, South Africa.
The Mpenjati Nature Reserve extends across 66 hectares, featuring wetlands, coastal forests, grasslands, and a river estuary meeting the Indian Ocean.
The area gained protected status under Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife management to preserve its diverse ecosystem of interconnecting riverine and floodplain marsh habitats.
The reserve serves as a gathering place for local communities and visitors who participate in fishing, water sports, and outdoor recreational activities.
Two designated picnic areas on opposite sides of the river provide facilities including barbecue spots, restrooms, and a children's play area.
The reserve contains observation platforms where visitors can spot water thick-knee, osprey, swift tern, and half-collared kingfisher in their natural habitat.
