‘Hold on tight – the first bit is going to be bumpy’, our skipper Nathan Pienaar shouted over the sound of crashing waves. You can travel to the Mkambati Nature Reserve by road, plane, helicopter or boat. Our trip by speedboat, from the NSRI station in Port Edward to Pondoland, treated us to the most […]
