Two camping grounds in uMlalazi Nature Reserve, between Mtunzini and the Mlalazi lagoon on the Zululand coast. Inkwazi has 36 sites (five for tents only, the rest also take caravans) and a children's play area; Indaba has 14 sites and is named after the Indaba tree under which John Dunn held court. Both have power points and shared ablutions with hot and cold water. Vervet monkeys are common, and the reserve is known for palm-nut vultures.
