Umziki Pan

Umziki is the Zulu name for the common Reedbuck which occur on this 80ha Natural Heritage Site (no.67) The property has been awarded this prestigious status due to the presence of pristine sand forest habitat and associated endemic plants and wildlife which includes the Zulu Podberry (Dialium schlecterii), and rare Thonga Kierie (Cladestemon kirkii), the tiny Suni antelope - (Neotragus moschatus euleunsis), the vulnerable Thonga red squirrel ( Paraxerus palliates tongensis) not to mention our amazing birding with regular sightings of African Broadbill (Smithornis capensis) and Narina Trogon (Apalodermia narina).

Our accommodation consists of three very comfortable thatched cottages and a larger guesthouse.

The cottages are named:
Flatcrown: a large rondavel that can sleep five people.
Podberry: a small rondavel that sleeps two people (one double bed).
Torchwood: A square davel that also sleeps two people (one double bed)

Each cottage is fitted with a ceiling fan, well-equipped kitchenette and an en-suite bathroom.

The guesthouse is named Umzimbeet and can sleep eight people in four separate bedrooms; it also has a fully equipped kitchen, and a lounge and dining area with its own braai facilities.

Please note that the accommodation is self-catering although continental breakfasts can be arranged if requested on booking. The accommodation is fully serviced daily. Please note that there are no TV's in our accommodation.

We have a large swimming pool with a bar/ braai & boma area with toilet/ change room, and two meandering walking trails each of which will take the casual enthusiast around thirty minutes to complete offering interesting and rewarding views of our fauna and flora.
