Why this trip
A safari jeep is not the only way to experience nature here. In the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, the oldest nature reserve in Africa, it is about tracks in the sand, sounds in the bush and respect for animals that you sense more on foot than in a vehicle. The park is known as a rescue place for the white rhinoceros, and anyone who sets out early in the morning sees the hills of Zululand in the best light. Guided bush walks with knowledgeable rangers are among the most intense activities here.
The routes are manageable, but demand calm, attention and sturdy shoes. You can stay overnight in camps such as the Mpila Camp or in lodges such as Leopard Mountain and Rhino Ridge on the edge of the protected area. From May to September it is dry, the vegetation thinner, and the animals gather at the waterholes. If you want to link South Africa, combine Hluhluwe with Durban or travel on to Sabi Sand and into the Kruger National Park.
How much walking distance you wish for is something you discuss in the video call.
