Oribi gorge
Oribi Gorge is the most treasured natural phenomena of KwaZulu-Natal and is situated on our glorious Coast, just 11 km off the N2 near Port Shepstone. This 24 kilometre-long gorge, has been meticulously carved out by the dreamy Umzimkulwana River and is home to over 250 bird species, baboons, leopards and various small antelope. Having a rich and deep history, some of the rocks found in the majestic Oribi Gorge are over 1000 million years old while the cliffs themselves have been formed from sandstone deposited about 365 million years ago.

breathe of the mountains
Journeying deep into the Gorge, travellers will come across the 400 meter deep and five kilometre wide canyon that was once the home to a large families of elephants, until settlers hunted them to extinction. Today, the rich green subtropical vegetation is home to smaller mammals such as buck, leguaan lizards, many bird species and fish eagles who can be spotted gracefully gliding across the sky. The gorge being one of our unspoiled crown jewels, boasts forests, cliffs, scenic hiking trails, idyllic picnic sites and waterfalls. A true phenomenal natural paradise!
