ABOUT

Come Hike with Us at the Beautiful Everton Conservancy!


Join us for a scenic adventure at Everton Conservancy, South Africa's oldest urban conservancy, founded in 1991. Situated west of Durban within the Ethekwini Municipality and upstream of the Krantzkloof Nature Reserve, this area boasts incredible biodiversity and natural beauty. Everton's forests, grasslands, and wetlands support a rich array of wildlife, including bushbuck, duiker, bush pigs, genets, and even rare sightings of serval and caracal. The birdlife here is spectacular too, with over 100 species recorded, including the majestic and endangered African Crowned Eagle!
