在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省最东北角,与莫桑比克接壤的边境地带,恩杜莫野生动物保护区虽仅占地110平方公里,却因其独特的湿地生态而具有国际影响力。这里是蓬戈拉河与大乌苏图河交汇处,形成的洪泛平原、芦苇荡和浅水湖被列入《拉姆萨尔公约》国际重要湿地名录,孕育着南非最丰富的鸟类群落之一——已记录430余种,包括罕见的非洲渔鸮、宽嘴鹟和纳瑞娜咬鹃。 微型生态系统的生物多样性热点 恩杜莫的地貌极为多样:从河岸森林、沙地到荆棘草原,为不同物种提供了栖息空间。虽然大型食肉动物在此绝迹,但尼亚拉羚羊、长颈鹿和非洲水牛等草食动物自由栖息。更独特的是,这里被誉为南非两栖爬行动物的最后庇护所之一,多种蛙类和蜥蜴依赖湿地环境生存。由于地处马普塔兰生物多样性热点带,加上温暖湿润的气候,物种更替率极高,尤其吸引鸟类学者和生态研究者。 自然保护与社会矛盾的共存 恩杜莫的生态价值背后,隐藏着复杂的历史遗留问题。20世纪中叶,当地社区被强制迁离,尽管后期部分土地权利得到补偿,如今保护区东部仍被占用耕作,威胁到尼罗鳄繁殖地等关键栖息地。原计划将恩杜莫纳入乌苏图-特姆贝-富蒂跨境保护区的构想也因争议停滞。这种保护与社区需求的张力,使其成为研究非洲自然治理的典型案例。 旅行者的独特体验 游客可乘越野车探索湿地边缘,观察河马群与鳄鱼;或徒步穿越沙地森林,寻找珍稀鸟类。保护区内设有简易营地,夜晚能听到蛙鸣与猫头鹰的叫声。由于位置偏远且设施简单,这里更适合追求原始生态的旅行者。

    We stayed at Ndumo Game Reserve in December 2024. It was great! I camped, and my brother stayed in the chalet with his wife. The chalets are lovely! Ndumo is for birding no doubt, and we were privileged to enjoy a bushwalk with Bongani to the Fig Tree Forest on the lake. Bongani was an exceptional guide, he called birds nearer to us and managed to show us a Narina Trogan! Ndumo is not for the "big five" but certainly a special place, and even more so for twitchers! Value for money and worth a visit! :)

    This exquisite reserve is truly a hidden gem. The staff team is amazing, the accomodation pristine, however it is the absolute beauty of nature that surrounds you and the experience of perfect peace and tranquility that makes Ndumo worthy of its name and should be on everyones bucket list to visit! I cannot speak too highly of this reserve ... you have to go there!

    Unfortunately when we were there it rained a lot, but we still enjoyed every moment of our visit. We are birdwatchers and we were amazed with all the birds we saw and heard. The bird hide that overlook the dam was incredible. I have never so many pelicans in my whole life. There also plenty egrets, darters and cormorants at the dam. Our hike to the hide and back was also great. The nature still seems still so undisturbed - a real Africa wildlife experience. Unfortunately, because of the density of the bush, it is difficult to spot the wild animals with ease, but we managed to still see a good variety of animals. We also drove to the lookout point on the northern border of the reserve that overlooks the river and you could also the the unspoilt riverbank on the Mozambican side. We enjoyed our trip and I recommend it to any nature lover that still want to see a peace of unspoilt wilderness - not so commercial as most other reserves in South Africa

    We camped at Ndumo 30 June - 2 July 2023. We were well received by Chris. Although we couldn't go on a bush walk, the rangers seemed very friendly and knowledgeable. Sadly, the park just needs a little bit attention to detail: the newly built ablution block was amazing, but there wasn't an appropriate dishwashing area. They opted for the cement basins instead. Half of the campsite was not mowed and many of the roads were overgrown, my car got scratched quite a bit! We had to turn around (or reverse) on a few occasions. Highlights: 🟢Birdlife was amazing at Nyamithi pan! 🟢Seeing a Palmnut vulture at the "vulture restaurant" 🟢Sunset at the lookout tower close to the main gate. We will return, but not in the height of summer for sure! 🟠Things to consider: ▪️No shop at the reserve. ▪️No wood to purchase on the way to the reserve, as is customary at many of KZN's reserves. ▪️The Spar at Ndumo village is very basic. ▪️Beware of ticks and scorpions! ▪️Take a basin along to wash your dishes. ▪️Take a water can if you want to avoid trips to the tap.

    The Game Reserve is great. Birding paradise even in the wet season when the bush and forest is dense. The Ezemvelo staff are really helpful. Facilities are good at the campsite but they need more thorough cleaning and repair attention. The pool was light green for want of chemicals and thorough cleaning. Beware of the lashing thunderstorms in the region in Summer and select a campsite carefully as there is substantial runoff during heavy rain. Mozzies are present by the millions at dawn and at sunset - it is a malaria area and being stung is unavoidable because there are so many mozzies. Lovely trees provide shade. The brick braai places are brand new - well constructed and one per site. There are taps at a few places around the site. The washing basins behind the ablution block are grubby and drainage is poor. No plugs or hot water for the dishes. There is a large geyser for hot water showers. The lights work and there are millions of bugs, beetles and flying things attracted there. Roads are good, some slick patches and puddles in the rainy season. Saw buffalo, giraffe, water monitor, mongoose, nyala, impala, crocodile, The shop at the main office is closed for now. Make sure you get a gate pass from the office before leaving Ndumo. Well worth the visit for the peace and tranquility.
