Hluhluwe / iMfolozi Game Reserve

Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park, situated in the heart of Zululand is the oldest protected game reserve in Africa -  this is where Zulu kings such as Dingiswayo and Shaka hunted and put in place the first conservation laws creating a safe park where today the "big five" roam free.

Established in 1895, The Hluhluwe and the uMfolozi Game Reserves offer accommodation with wildlife viewing as the prime attraction. One may drive oneself within the Park on a network of public roads. Viewing hides, overlook waterholes, enabling visitors to see animals at close range. For those with accommodation at Hilltop Camp, guided game drives are offered early mornings and late afternoons into the evening, with mid-morning drives offered subject to sufficient demand. At Mpila Camp only sunset game drives are presently offered.

As the home of Operation Rhino in the 1950s and 60s, the Hluhluwe and uMfolozi Game Reserve / Park became world renowned for its white rhino conservation. Other areas of focus for which Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park is famed include wilderness trails which originated in the uMfolozi Game Reserve in the 1950s and its renowned Game Capture unit recently upgraded to the Centenary Capture Centre, a bench mark for animal capture and sustainable utilization of wildlife throughout Africa. There is an interesting Museum as well as a curio shop and food take-away here.
The Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park covers some 96 000 ha and contains an immense diversity of fauna and flora.

Hluhluwe Game Reserve is characterised by hilly topography with the uMfolozi sector with more open bushveld. The park is noted for its wide variety of both bird and animal life.
Apart from game-viewing drives, there are two self-guided auto trails which provide information on both the management and natural history of the reserve.
Limited guided walks are also available, particularly rewarding in the early morning and late afternoon.
Minimum age for walks is 16 years old if unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian and 14 years old if accompanied.

***Please note that although the water is suitable for bathing and cooking, it is recommended that one does not drink the water and to buy or bring your own supply.
