Stanger accommodation. 20-odd kilometers inland of Port Shepstone lies the Oribi Gorge which contains the breathtaking Samango Falls. The 300m deep and 5km wide gorge has been cut along 24 km of the Umzimkulwana River, and is a wonderful retreat from the surrounding tourist towns. This dramatic landscape is dressed in an impressive forest.
The reserve has many scenic stops along the river (perfect for a secluded picnic), a few hiking trails and a beautiful circular drive for the more passive observer. Tourist are guaranteed to see some of the 500 species of trees which live in this forest, but luckier spectators may witness bushbuck, duikers, samango monkeys or even leopards.
In addition to attraction guides TravelGround also has a superior selection of
South Africa accommodation. Take a look!
