Wagendrift Natuurreservaat, KwaZulu-Natal

Wagendrift Nature Reserve is a pretty inland resort, 6km from Estcourt. The reserve surrounds a dam of the same name and includes activities such as:

• Birding
• Boating
• Fishing
• Game viewing
• Hiking
• Swimming

There is 980 ha of beautiful scenery with a self-guided trail along the Bushman’s River.

On a good day the keen fisherman may hook himself any of a number of fish species commonly found here:

• Bass
• Carp
• Bluegill
• Eel and sometimes even trout

The reserve was named after a drift through the Bushman's River favoured by transport wagons from Port Natal en-route to the Witwatersrand, where the gold fields attracted many people at that time.
