Geocache Description:

Duiker Corner

There is a small entry fee to the reserve but a Rhino or Wild card gets you in free

Reserve Times are 06h00 to 18h00


 

The cache is placed in a spot where I spotted the third of the three duiker species in one day. The reserve has an abundant, very healthy duiker population. I have spotted at least one of the species on each visit. 

Kenneth Stainbank is a 253 hectare reserve in Yellowwood Park, Durban,which was proclaimed in 1963. Established as a result of a bequest of land from Mr. Kenneth Stainbank, the area offers fine examples of coastal forest and grassland habitats for many species of plants and animals. Notable species are zebra, bushbuck, reedbuck, impala, blue,red and grey duiker,vervet monkey, rock hyrax, slender mongoose, bushbaby, egyptian mongoose, banded mongoose, water monitor and genet. The reserve has an interesting variety of indigenous flora and over 200 bird species on record.

There are 13 km of nature walks and a pleasant picnic site is available. A walk for the physically disabled has been specially designed. There is also a 10km mountain bike trail which is fairly challenging in places. An entrance fee is charged at the entrance gate, where visitors can obtain maps, plant and animal lists from the Field Ranger.
