Krantzkloof Nature Reserve, Pinetown

Great experience all round but the trail maps can be misinterpreted easily if it's your first time. The Kloof Waterfall trail may seem like the most rewarding at a seemingly short 1,1 km walk, but be warned - the trail involves crossing rivers, navigating sharp rocks as well as steep inclines and declines. Come prepared!

Surprising visit to this reserve as it's a short drive from city centre. Quiet getaway with multiple hike options available. Paths are clearly marked but can be a slippery at times with rain. Parking lacked security guards but is fenced. Adequate benches and places to break available. Worth another visit. Entrance is r40 per person

Sho! What a place to submerge yourself in nature, and just outside of Durban too! Krantzkloof offers a range of trails and breathtaking views. It’s actually quite crazy to see zebras on the plateau, happily grazing with the city skyline in the background. You can also enjoy a dip in the river to freshen up during your walk. It’s a great place to go with friends or kids!

This is usually a beautiful and tranquil spot but word has gotten around. My family and I were there on 1st January and it was swarming with people. Avoid peak seasons but definitely visit the nature reserve for a beautiful experience.

Amazing to hike! Trails are well thought off. Make sure to choose the trail thats physically best for you. The end of the hike is always worth it. Amazing views. Beautiful and feel one with nature. Carry mosquitoe repellent as it may be damp at time. Great for an adventure.
