Babanango is a small town located about 58 kilometers north-west of Melmoth in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. Founded in 1904, the town takes its name from the nearby stream and mountain. It is home to the recently established big five game reserve, Babanango Game Reserve, which has brought the community together as a conservation initiative.
