Krantzkloof Nature Reserve
A forested gorge on Durban's western outskirts, with a waterfall about 90 m high, cliff trails and birds of prey. The top choice for hiking near the city.
The reserve lies in Kloof. Coastal forest covers both sides of the gorge, and several trails lead to Kalder Falls and the Molweni Valley, where you can see crowned hawk-eagles and blue duikers. Trails vary in length, and steep sections can be slippery. There is a small entrance fee. Go with a companion and visit during the day. It's about a 30-minute drive from the city center.
Opening hours
