Situated on the South Coast of KZN, South Africa, 50 km south of Durban and 5 minutes from the Umkomaas diving community lies the 60 Ha Empisini nature reserve.

Empisini, meaning Place of the Hyena, is the name of the perennial stream which flows through the valley consisting of dense reeds, wetlands, grassy slopes and 20 Ha of pristine coastal forest.

Looping through the forest, are several gentle hiking trails, demarcated picnic sites, overnight cabins, and a tree house, from which the abundant bird life can be admired.
