Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve is an Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife park inland from Port Shepstone on the KZN South Coast — a day trip from Durban, not a metro afternoon walk. Official park page and booking system list overnight rest huts, a self-catering chalet and campsites. Day visitors pay a conservation fee at the Ezemvelo gate; we do not publish a rand amount because the last public tariff table we could read is stale. Confirm the live fee on Ezemvelo’s current tariffs PDF (linked from kznwildlife.com/explore/our-activities). An Ezemvelo Rhino Club card is listed as free day entry at Ezemvelo-managed gates, including Oribi Gorge. This is not Oribi Gorge Hotel and not Wild 5 Adventures (swing, slide, hotel view-sites).
