In the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands lies a valley created by the Umgeni River, after cascading over the majestic Howick Falls. The greater part of the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve lies in the spectacular gorge below the Howick Falls, while the upper part is the fringe of a rolling plateau which has an average altitude of about 1000m AMSL.
The land falls away abruptly at the edge of the plateau for about 60m to form rock faces in places. The valley sides below 860m altitude slope away gently towards the Umgeni River, 7km of which falls within the reserve. The lowest point is 737m AMSL. The Umgeni Valley reserve is home to giraffe, zebra and a variety of antelope. There is an indigenous tree trail surrounding the Education Centre and self-guided walks mingling with the wildlife in the beautiful Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve. A bird watchers paradise, with over 200 bird species to view throughout the year - see if you can spot the elusive Narina Trogon or the Crowned Eagle. Butterflies abound in the reserve.
This cache is situated at the entrance of the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve in a small copse of Aloes Arborescens. You will not need to pay a entrance fee to complete this cache but should you wish to find the other caches within the Reserve, which are well worth it, an entrance fee will be payable at reception.
