Somkhanda
Somkhanda is a 12 000ha reserve and is a great success story of community based conservation. It offers walking terrain for the fairly adventurous trialist – due to the many drainage lines and dense vegetation, we often follow animal paths and have the opportunity to follow the tracks and sings of rhino, big cats and elephants.
