New Germany Nature Reserve


New Germany Nature Reserve is a protected area of coastal grassland and forest overlooking the suburb of New Germany outside of Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The reserve consists of a nature park featuring a walk-through aviary and snake display, and grasslands to the south of the park which can be explored by foot.
The reserve is home to a number of bird species, including the Natal robin and purple-crested Turaco. Small mammals such as the blue and common duiker, impala, and mongoose are also found in the reserve.

History

The reserve was demarcated as a common for the grazing of livestock and gathering of firewood by German settlers who arrived in the area in 1848.
