Albert Falls Nature Reserve

 Albert Falls Nature Reserve is close to Pietermaritzburg and Cramond. It was established in 1975 and offers a wide range of activities ranging from boating, water-skiing and sailing to fishing, bird watching and game viewing. Canoe races are held regularly, starting just below the Albert Falls. The Albert Falls Dam is rated one of the best bass fishing dams in the world. The area around the falls has some delightful walks. The game park captures a truly delightful 'bushveld hint' of old Africa and visitors can either drive or walk through the area. Animals that may be seen include zebra, impala, blesbok, reedbuck, grey duiker, springbok, red hartebeest and oribi.

Established in October 1997, the tourism initiative centered on the Albert Falls takes advantage of attractions and activities in the area immediately north-east of the city. A popular landmark in Umvoti County, the initiative is spreading and now includes the historic locations of Bishopstowe, Cramond, Dalton, New Hanover, Wartburg, Hermannsburg and Kranskop.

The bird life is prolific with an abundance of water birds and other species, and there are several trails worth exploring.

It is not by chance that the fish eagle is the emblem of the Albert Falls Amble, as its unique cry can be heard throughout the area.

For those lazy days there are picnic areas, tea gardens and animal farms.  Whilst ambling, the Albert Falls region is a popular day trip for visitors to Pietermaritzburg, there are several hotels, a host of bed and breakfasts establishments, self-catering units, as well as camping and caravanning sites.
