Why this trip
Africa's oldest nature reserve and a rescue place for the white rhinoceros: Hluhluwe in KwaZulu-Natal is a safari for couples who want to experience the wilderness and then arrive in peace at a lodge. The landscape is hilly, green and wide. The Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park is the heart of the area, with rhinos, elephants, buffalo and giraffes. A drive in an open vehicle at sunrise is the experience that many couples remember for a long time.
Kuleni Game Park and Hluhluwe Umfolozi Safaris offer further tours. At the Nyalazi Gate you enter the park with your own vehicle. Lodges such as Leopard Mountain Safari Lodge, Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge or Hluhluwe River Lodge offer rooms with a view into the bush. From May to September it is dry and the animals gather at waterholes, the best time for safari.
Durban lies as a coastal city to the south, and Johannesburg, Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park are further destinations. If you combine the safari with a beach, start in Durban or end there. On a video call, Honeymoon will clarify with you how many nights in the lodge suit your trip.
