## Walk into the life of a big Cape Ash Tree - Literally walk the Boardwalk Aerial wooden structure.

Start of the walk from the road where you park, an area you are allowed to get out **_(always good to keep and eye open for animals)_** this takes you down to the tree on the Western bank in the Isimangaliso Wetlands park.

Different levels with view points looking out to take in the abundant nature surrounding you. Birds, bees, animals and trees you will many hidden gems sitting quietly engulfed in the arms of the old tree.

View across to the Eastern bank with the largest vegetated sand dunes. The Maphelane dune at 183 meters is the highest vegetated dune in the area.

The Boardwalk has been beautifully built in that it does not hurt the tree, structured around on high stilted legs about three to four meters off the ground.

Going up to the higher level gives an idea of the foilage below and the view from every angle looking out. _(Would be an amazing place to live)_
