Madwala nature reserve is an interesting place, more a large garden than a reserve, its in its infancy and as such a lot of clearing needs to be done, the invasive plant species are a real issue.  It is accessed via the Chanteclair Hotel and seems to be an extension of the grounds on which it stands. There are also mutant ticks which will bite you and leave you itching for 3 weeks thereafter... A reasonable dam and large marshy wetland are main features however if you trek further into the reserve there are wooded hills in which we saw a few interesting species. This walk however forced me into buying new boots, very wet, muddy and hilly.
