Harold Johnson Nature Reserve, Dolphin
Coast: The Harold Johnson Nature Reserve is situated north of Ballito on the
banks of the Tugela River and north of Zinkwazi.
The Harold Johnson reserve is run by KwaZulu Natal Wildlife and offers walking trails,
picnic sites, a small variety of game and a large variety of bird life.
Fort Pearson and the Ultimatum Tree, both of which are national monuments, lie within the
reserve. The Fort was built in 1878 on a bluff overlooking the Pont-crossing on the Tugela
River. Both of these monuments played a significant role in the Anglo- Zulu war of 1879. A
few war graves can also be seen on site.
