Geocache Description:

A quiet picnic spot along the Umlalazi river.

The cache is located within the Umlalazi Nature reserve. Gate is open to the public from 05:00 - 22:00. A small entrance fee is payable if you are not in possession of either a Rhino Gold Card or WILD Card.

The Mangrove trees growing along the Umlalazi River are some of the last remaining along our coast and consist of both the White & Black mangroves.

The patient observer will be keen to note the activity of the Fiddler Crabs that are found here. In particular their inter-relationship with the Mangrove Trees. As soon as a leaf drops from the trees, they appear from their holes and quickly retrieve the same and take it down below to feed on. There is quite a race between the crabs for these spoils.

Zebra roam freely in the grasslands adjacent to the river.
