Thulasihleka Pan Bird Sanctuary (Richards Bay)

South Africa / KwaZulu Natal / Richards Bay
 birds, birdwatching area, interesting place

-Zululand Birding Route (ZBR)
It is a lovely, unspoiled protected conservation area, right in the middle of a major industrial area.

The pan has long been earmarked for industrial development, but in 2004 the uMhlathuze Municipality realised the potential conservation and tourism value of the pan and handed the management of the area to Birdlife Zululand. Funds for the construction of hides, offices, clearing of weeds, signage and other developments have come from the surrounding industries itself.
