A modest 32-hectare reserve hugging the banks of the Amanzimtoti River as it works its way down to the coast. The reserve protects one of the last surviving patches of coastal scarp forest in the area — tall yellowwoods and milkwoods over a dense understorey, with a network of walking trails crossing wooden boardwalks and small bridges over the river.
Birdlife is the highlight: Knysna turacos, trumpeter hornbills, and a host of forest species are all regular. Vervet monkeys are easy to see. The reserve is free to enter and rarely crowded. Two main trails of around an hour each loop through the forest.
