Founded in 1895, Hluhluwe Umfolozi National Park is the oldest game reserve in South Africa and covers 96000 hectares. Located in the heart of Zululand, KwaZulu Natal, the park is one of the most popular "big five" wildlife safari and tour destinations.
Since the time that Zulu kings hunted and enact the first conservation laws a lot has changed in the park but it's never lost his attraction.
During the 1960's operation rhino took place and successfully relocated white rhinos to havens in South Africa and abroad. Today the reserve holds at least a fifth of the world's black and white rhino population. Due to its rich diversity of tree and plant life, over 300 species of birds and a large variety of game can be found. Viewing hides enable visitors to see the big five (lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino, leopard), giraffes, hippos, wild dogs, cheetahs, nyala's, jackals, zebras and many more wandering through pans or drinking at waterholes. You can explore the park via car, day walks, game drives, boat tours or wilderness trails for which the park is seen as a bench mark throughout Africa. The Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park is able to offer its guests an unforgettable experience as it has one of the best conservation teams in the world.
Your stay is perfected with your choice of a wide range of accommodation, from bush camps to luxury lodges.
