5. DREADNOUGHT WALKING TRAIL
(26 kms from Eshowe Town Hall)
Permission is required from Louis Gunter (035-4749004)

From Eshowe, take the Ntumeni/Nkandla road and after 13.2 kilometers turn left at the Ntumeni Nature Reserve signpost. Travel a further 8.4 kilometers and turn right onto the D397 road. Proceed for 4.4 kilometres and you will pass Farm Watch sign 9.6 and the signboard `Mr L Gunter'. Continue down a steep decline, cross the first stream and just after the second stream, turn right. Park in the parking area.

Listen for the Crowned Eagle. On the walk, look for African Crested Flycatcher, Mountain Wagtail, African Black Duck, Grey Waxbill, Purple-crested Lourie, Black-bellied Starling, Dusky and Ashy Flycatchers. Scaly-throated Honeyguides are not uncommon. After you have walked past a clump of orange Clivia Miniata (early spring flowering), keep a watch for African Finfoot, Half-collared Kingfisher, Green Coucal, Woodpeckers and Bulbuls. The walk ends at a picturesque waterfall.
