Area Info

This is a bird watchers delight! Dlinza Forest, which is in the heart of Eshowe, hosts birds like the elusive Spotted Ground- Thrush , while above Delegorgue's Pigeons can be heard throughout the summer months making their loud ascending then descending call. To the west of Eshowe is the Entumeni Nature Reserve, which has a forest superficially similar to Dlinza forest but hosting different birds like Yellow-streaked Bulbuls and African Broadbill which do not occur in Dlinza.
