wilderness region known as the Elephant Coast. It lies adjacent to the Mkhuze
Game Reserve section of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and in close proximity to

Makhasa Game Reserve incorporates five distinct habitats - one of which is the
unique and pristine sand forest, home to an abundance of wildlife including
