Useful information
Babanango Outdoor Education at Matatane Camp is located on Babanango Game Reserve, in the north-east of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province in the heart of the Zululand region.
Renowned for its warm hospitality, proud people and beautiful landscapes, Zululand is the traditional home of the Zulu people.
The word “Zulu” means heaven in the isiZulu language and it’s easy to see where the name originated when you take in the breath-taking vistas of Babanango Game Reserve, with its valleys, forests and grasslands interrupted by life-bringing rivers.
Babanango means “father, there it is” and refers to a hill that’s a local landmark, towering over the White Umfolozi River which runs through the reserve’s dramatic landscape.
