Krantzkloof (listing) is the Kloof gorge reserve. Official entry 06:00–13:00, leave by 18:00. Adults R70, children R35. Card or Ezemvelo Rhino Card — not cash, not a SANParks Wild Card. Kloof Falls Road gate only. No pets, no bikes. Use the live online map; we do not republish an old colour-and-time table. Official site: kknr.org.za.

Giba Gorge Nature Reserve

Giba Gorge (listing) is the free volunteer / eThekwini walk. Official trails: Giba_Track about 3km, Ukhozi loop, Ndabushe to McIntosh Falls just under 4km each way. Dogs on a lead. The paid Giba Gorge Mountain Bike Park (official walking / picnic visitors R50) is a different operator in Pinetown — do not pay that gate just to walk the free reserve.

Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve

Kenneth Stainbank in Yellowwood Park is a Ezemvelo reserve. The archived official page lists about 13km of nature walks, a path designed for visitors with disabilities, a picnic site and a roughly 10km mountain-bike trail — not an invented 5km / 10km walking table. An entrance fee is charged at the gate; we have not published a rand amount because it is not on a current Ezemvelo page. Phone on the listing: 073 285 3168.

Oribi Gorge — not a Durban afternoon

Oribi Gorge is inland from Port Shepstone — two different gates. Ezemvelo Nature Reserve is the conservation-fee day visit and booked overnight camp. Wild 5 / Oribi Gorge Hotel is the private R40 view-site and included hike. Do not reuse an old R40 figure for the reserve. Lake Eland is a third private reserve (official day fee R85, hiking included).
