Pongolapoort Nature Reserve is a park in the Umkhanyakude District of Kwazulu-Natal, about 30 km southeast of the town Pongola.
Within the nature reserve is the Pongolapoort Dam, also known as the Jozini Dam. Many bird species can be found here.[1]
The construction of the dam reduced flooding but also hurt the fishing industry.[2]
