Description

Bivane Dam is a true hidden gem, offering a spectacular eco-tourism experience in a wild and rugged corner of northern KwaZulu-Natal. The dam itself, completed in 2000, is a modern marvel of engineering, built on the Bivane River to provide a sustainable water supply for the region. This pristine body of water is now the centerpiece of a stunning nature reserve, creating a paradise for nature lovers, anglers, and adventurous families.

The resort provides an exceptional camping experience with a strong focus on comfort and convenience. A selection of well-maintained campsites is available, each thoughtfully equipped with its own private braai area, a reliable electricity supply point, and a potable water tap. These fantastic sites are serviced by excellent and spotlessly clean ablution facilities, ensuring your stay is as comfortable as it is scenic. For longer stays, communal laundry machines are also conveniently available for guest use.

The main attractions are the dam and the surrounding wilderness. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for boating, canoeing, and are renowned for their superb bass fishing. The surrounding reserve is home to a variety of plains game, which you can often spot on a self-guided game drive or a scenic walk. The lack of light pollution also makes for breathtaking stargazing, best enjoyed from the warmth of your campfire in this truly special and tranquil destination.
