Ntsikeni Nature Reserve is located in southern KZN, between Underberg and Kokstad, and covers an area of 9 200ha. Ntsikeni Nature Reserve is a key component of the protected area system in the south-western region of KwaZulu-Natal. It plays an important role in conserving Drakensberg Foothill Moist Grassland. Furthermore, the Ntsikeni Vlei wetland, which is one of the largest high altitude (> 1 700m) wetlands in South Africa, has been declared a Ramsar site, and plays an important ecological role in water storage and water flow regulation in the Ngwagwane and Umzimkhulu River systems
