Explore the Wonders of the Black Umfolozi River

The Black Umfolozi River in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, snakes through diverse terrains, starting from Vryheid and joining the White Umfolozi to form the Umfolozi River. Its name pays homage to its unique dark stones and winding path. This river once marked the eastern boundary of the powerful Ndwandwe kingdom. However, the 1950s saw ecological shifts from sugarcane farming impacting its sediment, crucial for the St. Lucia Estuary. Today, this river is part of the biodiverse Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park.
