Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve, Protected coastal forest in Yellowwood Park, Durban, South Africa.

The reserve encompasses 253 hectares of riverine forest and grassland mosaic, providing habitats for zebras, various duiker species, and numerous small mammals.

Kenneth Stainbank donated this land in 1963, establishing a conservation area that includes Coedmore Castle, a stone homestead constructed by Dering Stainbank in 1885.

The Mary Stainbank Memorial Gallery within the reserve displays works from Mary Stainbank, a graduate of London's Royal College of Art in 1925.

The reserve features 13 kilometers of nature trails, including wheelchair-accessible paths from the main parking area and a 10-kilometer mountain bike track.

Night drives through the reserve offer opportunities to observe nocturnal animals while the dam area attracts diverse water birds including red-chested flufftails.
