Mhlosinga Nature Reserve comprises 1 850 hectares of Northern Natal bushveld and riverine thickets.
At the heart of Mhlosinga lies the 10 million cubic meter Van Eck Dam (RAMSAR Site #123), providing a rich variety of bushveld and wetland bird life.
Our bird list for the district currently stands at 330 species.
The 100 hectare Van Eck Dam is a productive water supply for Africa's magnificent tiger fish.
The dam provides excellent year-round angling for tiger, tilapia and catfish.
Bag limits are controlled to ensure sustainability and
'catch and release' is encouraged.
Come and soak up the wilds in a safe, relaxed environment.
Visitors are free to drive, walk or cycle on any of the designated roads and tracks of the reserve.
