A whopping 3,000 hectares of nature reserve – that’s a whole lot of space around Highover Wildlife Sanctuary, on the scenic Hele Hele (Hella Hella) route half an hour’s drive west of Richmond. The KwaZulu Natal estate’s stunning scenery and abundant wildlife have led to it being awarded Natural Heritage Status, and make it an excellent spot for a rural break. Hiking trails run through the forests and plains, taking in waterfalls and mountain views as they go. Running through the reserve is the Mkomazi River, with about 11 kilometres of river frontage available for guests who’d like to take a dip or who’ve brought fishing kit along (the KwaZulu Natal Yellowfish is among the spoils in these waters). As the name suggests, guests should come to Highover prepped for animal encounters: more than 240 bird species have been spotted here, and impala, ostrich, bushbuck and the like casually amble around the site. If you’d like to go off in search of more, staff will provide you with details of game drive routes or maps of mountain bike/quad bike/four wheel drive trails. Being well away from urban lights, the after-dark starry skies are frequently spectacular too. To keep the place non-intrusive, the facilities here have been kept on the simple side: guests have access to a bathroom block with wood-fired hot water, and braai areas for alfresco cookouts.

Lokale seværdigheder

If the thrill of spotting wild beasts has you craving more of a rush, head over to Hella Hella Adventure Centre (five minutes’ drive) for all manner of adrenaline activities including rafting, ziplining and abseiling, or take to the skies to see the surrounds from on high with Wild Sky Paragliding School (an hour and 15 minutes). Meanwhile, those who just can’t get enough of the area’s stunning wildlife might like to head off to cram in more sightings at the African Bird of Prey Sanctuary, or Butterflies for Africa, both of which are around an hour’s drive away. Time for a gentle return to urban life? Potter around Pietermaritzburg (an hour and 10 minutes), taking in the Natal Museum and Voortrekker Museum and wandering around the KwaZulu-Natal National Botanical Garden. Not ready for such a move just yet? Board the Paton Express in Ixopo (an hour and 10 minutes) to puff your way gently through some stunning scenery on a steam-driven narrow-gauge railway.
