This 10 117 ha reserve is home to an enormous diversity of vegetation types. Animals are plentiful at Ndumo, and include about 5 700 nyala (the hunter F C Selous collected specimens of Nyala here for the London Zoo), White and Black Rhino, a herd of about 80 Buffalo, Giraffe, Burchell`s Zebra, Impala, Nyala, Bushbuck, Bushpig, Grey and Red Duiker and Reedbuck. Nocturnal species, such as Pangolin, Aardwolf and Aardvark search the dry ground for food at night, while Hippo and Crocodile are commonly seen near the waters edge by day. The festival of birds is undoubtedly the major attraction at Ndumo, more than 420 species. Apart from the network of forest fringed pans, there's an abundance of lush, sub-tropical bush, huge Fever and Fig trees, and stretches of sandveld nourishing such indigenous trees as Marula, Velvet Bushwillow, Silverleaf and Black Monkeythorn Acacia.

Ndumo Wilderness Camp - The lodge on the edge of Banzi Pan, is mounted on wooden platforms under a canopy of giant Fig trees, an area not usually open to the public. This camp, a joint venture between Wilderness Safaris, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Nature Conservation and the local community, offers eight tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms and access to a separate bar/dining area. The entire camp is linked to a tree canopy walkway several metres above the ground.

Morning and evening game drives, escorted bush walks and bird watching are professionally conducted by local rangers and scouts.
