Kamberg Nature Reserve is located in the foothills of the Ukhahlamba
Drakensberg Park,and is centrally located in the foothills, making it an ideal
stop off point for visits to various other well known Berg areas, from Lotheni
to Giants Castle. The picturesque surrounds of Kamberg nature reserve, features
three attractive picnic sites near the river, and the area has become well known
for its excellent fly fishing.
There are also numerous well maintained walks in the area, one of which is
wheelchair friendly. These self-guided trails lead visitors from the camp into
the surrounding areas of the 'Little Berg' as well as along the Mooi River.
Trout fishing can be enjoyed in the many dams which include the well known
trophy trout fishing dams of Highmoor which must be booked in advance. Most of
the other dams are open to anglers throughout the year and river fishing is
permitted during the fly fishing season. Kamberg's trout hatchery is also worth
an interesting visit, and is open to the public on a daily basis.
There is an awesome rock art shelter, and guided walks to the area are conducted
on a daily basis. The earliest inhabitants of the Drakensberg region were
Bushmen, or San people. The San lived in harmony with their environment, and
never used more than they needed to survive. Unfortunately, violent clashes with
white settlers and Nguni tribes brought their era to an untimely end, and all
that is left to remind us of these fascinating people, is their art .
