Cultural & Historical interest
Pongola Game Reserve was the first proclaimed reserve in Africa. It was only in the late 1980's that neighbouring private land owners, here at the foothills of the Lebombos, with KZN Wildlife and local communities initiated the idea of a larger co-operative conservation area or biosphere that included Lake Jozini and surrounding land as one ecological unit. The shared vision was to conserve this large area; making it ecologically and economically viable and socially beneficial in the provision of high quality tourism. And so in 1990 fences were dropped, cultivated lands were handed back to nature.
