UMkhuze Game Reserve, Game reserve in northern Zululand, South Africa
The 40,000-hectare reserve contains diverse landscapes including acacia savannas, swamps, woodlands, riverine forests, and rolling hills stretching to the Lebombo Mountains.
The reserve became a protected area in 1912 and later integrated into iSimangaliso Wetland Park, which gained UNESCO World Heritage status.
The reserve includes a village where the KwaJobe community demonstrates traditional crafts and daily activities of Zulu culture.
Four observation hides near water sources allow visitors to observe wildlife, including elephants, rhinoceros, giraffes, and over 420 bird species.
The reserve features a 1,400-hectare forest of wild fig trees reaching heights of 25 meters along the Mkhuze River banks.
