Nagle Dam and Game Reserve dates back to glacial pavements, this developing wildlife reserve offers a sanctuary to a wide variety of antelope. Luxury accommodation is available at the stately 12 bed Nagle Lodge and the exclusive 6 bed Msinsi Lodge, where you can choose to be pampered or left to enjoy the solitude.

Recreational Activities at Nagle

This Reserve offers a variety of birds for the birders, a wide range of antelope as well as zebra. As the dam is well stocked, fishing is a favourite pastime. For those not intent on fishing, our picnic sites and braai facilities offer the perfect setting for a relaxing day out. The warm water hatchery offers very interesting tours, booking is essential.

Water Sports:

All forms of wind and paddle driven craft are permitted on the dam and bass fishermen may use sneaker motors. Cruise peacefully around this picturesque dam and admire the majesty of some of the "Thousand Hills".

Fly fishing

If you are a fly fishing fanatic why not try your luck at something a little different. Inanda Dam offers some of the finest and most challenging fly fishing available for species such as Tilapia (both Blue and Red-Chest), Barbel (catfish), Scalies (yellow-fish) and Carp. Especially in the spring and autumn months large specimens of all these species are to be found visibly throughout the dam, and with some perseverance you may just hook and land a new species on the fly. Nagle, Hazelmere and Albert Falls Dams also have well stocked dams for an enjoyable fishing experience.
