Umlalazi Nature Reserve has the rare distinction of offering two unique and unusual attractions: regular sightings of the rare palm-nut vulture, and the fascinating raffia palm monument. The raffia palm is the largest palm in the world. This beautiful coastal resort is conveniently nestled in the dunes and thick coastal forest on the outskirts of Mtunzini. Water-skiing, boating and canoeing can be enjoyed on the Umlalazi River and the surf and lagoon fishing is excellent. Vast stretches of uncrowded beaches are outstanding for swimming, surfing, windsurfing and angling as well as for long beach walks. Umlalazi is superb for birding and there are three self-guided trails through mangrove swamps, dune forests and along the edge of the river. Umlalazi camp features thirteen five-bed log cabins set into the lush coastal dune forest. Each log cabin consists of two bedrooms, a combined lounge/dining room, a fully equipped kitchenette, a bathroom with shower or bath, verandas and barbecue facilities. All 13 units are equiped with DSTV.
