Dlinza Forest in Eshowe is one of the many beautiful forests in Zululand. The forest is easily accessible and is currently visited by birdwatchers from all over the world hoping to catch a glimpse of a rare bird species such as the Spotted Ground Thrush or Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon (Columba delegorguei). The forest echoes with the calls of Trumpeter Hornbills, Purple-crested Turacos (Purple-crested Lourie) and Narina Trogons. Numerous tree markers along the trails provide interesting information and describe Zulu medicinal uses of the various trees.
The Dlinza Forest has an impressive 125-metre aerial boardwalk, at an elevation of 10 metres which allows visitors to walk right under the canopy of Dlinza's indigenous scarp forest and culminates in a 20-metre observation tower with a breath-taking view. The walkway, which is wheelchair friendly, provides intimate access to 65 bird and 85 butterfly species, as well as to small mammals such as red duiker, bush pigs and bush babies. Magnificent trees that can be seen from the boardwalk include the Fluted Milkwood, Giant Umzimbeet and Wild Plum.
