Dlinza Forest Nature Reserve, covering approximately 250 hectares near Eshowe in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province, is a remnant of coastal scarp forest situated atop a series of hills reaching 500 meters above sea level. The forest is home to diverse flora and fauna, including over 60 bird species, vervet monkeys, Cape bushbucks, wild boars, and several species of duiker. Visitors can explore two trails, one of which features a 125-meter elevated walkway and a 20-meter observation tower, offering expansive views over the forest canopy and distant coastline. Historically, the reserve's higher elevation provided a cooler retreat favored by Zulu royalty and served as a refuge during periods of conflict.

    Dlinza Forest Nature Reserve is a tranquil and beautiful reserve. It has many trails that vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The Boardwalk is the main attraction as it goes high up in the canopy of the trees. I am fortunate to stay next to the forest and see many of the wildlife when driving or taking a walk in it.
