Luchaba Nature Reserve lies adjacent to the Mthatha Dam and is home to a variety of wildlife, of Carnivores which includes Buffalos, Springboks, Zebras a series of wetlands and grasslands that support a wide selection of birds

Luchaba seldom makes it to the essential list of ‘must see’ nature reserves possibly because the reserve is on state land and thus far unproclaimed (although efforts are underway to proclaim it as a formal nature reserve).

It is also managed together with the Nduli Nature Reserve that lies next to the N2 highway, at the southern entrance to Mthatha, under O .R Tambo district municipality, contributing perhaps to its apparent obscurity.

However, this part of the world, is home to some of the most unspoiled countryside, and the reserve is without doubt worth a visit.
