Umfolozi was the exclusive hunting preserve of the Zulu kings who protected the area by proclaiming conservation laws long before any formal protection.
The game pits in which animals were trapped can still be seen.
Game viewing is the prime attraction. Viewing hides overlook pans and waterholes enabling visitors to see animals at close range.
As the home of "Operation Rhino" in the 1950s and 60s, the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park became world renowned for its White Rhino conservation. Other areas of focus for which it is famed include its wilderness trails which originated in Umfolozi in the 1950s and its renowned Game Capture unit recently upgraded to the Centenary Capture Centre which is a bench mark for animal capture and sustainable wildlife utilization in Africa.
