Situated along the park’s northern reaches and extending to the Mozambican border, this reserve is a sanctuary for rare ecosystems found nowhere.
The landscape is dominated by ancient dune forests, some dating back thousands of years. Underneath their dense canopies live rare and shy creatures such as the red duiker, suni antelope, and bushpig. For birdwatchers, the reserve is home to extraordinary species like the elusive green-backed twinspot and the majestic palm-nut vulture.
Perhaps the most iconic species of the Coastal Forest is the palm-nut vulture, found in very few places across the continent. Its striking white and black plumage makes it easy to recognise as it soars above the canopy or feeds on raffia palm fruits, making it a prize sighting for dedicated birdwatchers.
Situated along the park’s northern reaches and extending to the Mozambican border, this reserve is a sanctuary for rare ecosystems found nowhere.
The reserve’s remote beaches stretch endlessly, offering solitude and quiet beauty. These shores are ideal for spotting dolphins or, during winter, whales migrating past in the distance. It is ideal for those seeking raw, unspoiled wilderness where tranquil and natural rhythms dominate, a true retreat into nature’s most intimate spaces.
