Keurbooms River Nature Reserve - Keurboomstrand, Garden Route

The Keurbooms River Nature Reserve in Keurboomstrand, located along South Africa's Garden Route, is a protected area known for its rich biodiversity and scenic landscapes. The reserve, just 8kms from Plettenberg Bay and encompasses a variety of ecosystems, including wetlands, estuaries, and coastal forests, making it a haven for wildlife, particularly bird species. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, canoeing, and fishing while exploring the lush surroundings. The reserve is also a vital area for the conservation of the indigenous flora and fauna of the region.

The Keurbooms estuary and river are best explored by taking the Whiskey Creek Canoe Trail, that gently wends it way up past steep river gorges and afromontane forests of stinkwood, yellowwood, ironwood, and of course, keurboom. Power boats are not permitted past the 4 km mark. Once past this point the waters become quiet and one can begin to enjoy the serene beauty and prolific birdlife. Canoe rentals are available at the Keurbooms Reserve kiosk at the Keurbooms River bridge.
