Highmoor Nature Reserve
Fly fishing at Highmoor Nature Reserve, Drakensberg & Surroundings, KwaZulu Natal © Highmoor Nature Reserve
Highmoor Nature reserve forms a portion of the Mkhomazi Wilderness Area,
covering an area of roughly fifteen thousand hectares, and boasts a massive
variety of rare, endemic and endangered species. The terrain consists largely of
mountains, grasslands and streams, and is bordered by Kamberg and Lotheni in the
south and Giant's Castle in the north.
Highmoor proves to be an excellent fly fishing destination boasting some of the
best catches in South Africa, with a variety of carefully managed trout dams
available to restricted numbers of fisherman. The area is also good for hiking,
and boasts a number of excellent rock art sites, which can be visited by prior
arrangement, with the company of a guide. A good example of this San rock art
can be found at Fulton Rock long yet scenic hike of roughly five hours.
Highmoor Nature reserve also features two caves, Aasvoelkrantz and Caracal,
which are available for overnight stays of large groups of up to twenty people.
Aasvoelkrantz takes visitors on an hour and a half walk from the car park, and
leads to a double storey size cave with its own permanent supply of water
throughout the year. Caracal cave is about a two hour walk from the car park,
and overlooks the Ncibidwane River and Giant's Castle with water only being
available throughout the summer months. Also located at Highmoor are seven well
placed campsites which are said to be both the highest and most charming
campsites in KwaZulu Natal. The communal ablution block is equipped with both
hot and cold showers and flushing toilets.
