The Iphithi Nature Reserve conserves 12 ha of forest and wetland in the Molweni River's upper catchment in northern Gillitts, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

The committee was paid a lump sum for the valuable timber which it used to establish the reserve, fence off additional entrances and pay for the laying of paths, building of viewing decks and planting of indigenous flora.

Bushbuck, blue duiker, porcupine, dassies and mongooses are resident[1] and some 47 species of bird have been recorded.

[1] Since May 2013 the entrance gate in Edward drive is however closed at all times due to crime issues and inconsiderate revellers, and access is arranged by means of a computer and cell phone system.

Phone numbers displayed at the entrance gate can be used upon arrival in order to gain access and again to leave the premises.
