Albert Falls Accommodation

Albert Falls Nature Reserve is close to Pietermaritzburg and Cramond . Albert falls game reserve offers beautiful scenery, wildlife and accommodation. The Albert Falls Game Reserve was established in 1975 and offers a wide range of activities ranging from boating, water-skiing and sailing to fishing, bird watching and game viewing. Canoe races are held regularly, starting just below the Albert Falls. The Albert Falls Dam is rated one of the best bass fishing dams in the world. The area around the falls has some delightful walks.

Albert Falls Nature Reserve and Accommodation

The Albert Falls Dam and Game Reserve  is on the Albert Falls Amble and  is a wonderful haven for the keen birder, the game viewing and water sports enthusiast. Where old-timers used to water-ski on what was the old Peatties Lake, today hundreds of visitors fish for bass, enjoy recreational motor-boating and take advantage of the tranquil thornveld that is bursting with wildlife. The game park captures a truly delightful 'bushveld hint' of old Africa and visitors can either drive or walk through the area. Animals that may be seen include zebra, impala, blesbok, reedbuck, grey duiker, springbok, red hartebeest and oribi. 

The Amble (The Albert Falls Arts and Crafts Meander)

Established in October 1997, the tourism initiative centered on the Albert Falls takes advantage of attractions and activities in the area immediately north-east of the city. A popular landmark in Umvoti County, the initiative is spreading and now includes the historic locations of Bishopstowe, Cramond, Dalton, New Hanover, Wartburg, Hermannsburg and Kranskop.

The bird life is prolific with an abundance of water birds and other species, and there are several trails worth exploring.

It is not by chance that the fish eagle is the emblem of the Albert Falls Amble, as its unique cry can be heard throughout the area.

For those lazy days there are picnic areas, tea gardens and animal farms.  Whilst ambling, the Albert Falls region is a popular day trip for visitors to Pietermaritzburg, there are several hotels, a host of bed and breakfasts establishments, self-catering units, as well as camping and caravanning sites.
