When war approached, King Shaka is said to have hidden his wives in the thick swath of forest that now makes up this 2-sq-km reserve. There is prolific bird life – look out for crowned eagles (Stephanoaetus coronatus) , as well as a few walking trails, some of which are believed to have been made by British soldiers stationed here after the Anglo-Zulu War. The 125m-long Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk offers some great views.
