Why this trip
The white rhinoceros has found a refuge here. Hluhluwe in KwaZulu-Natal is part of Africa's oldest nature reserve, and the park is known for the rescue of this species. That makes it a destination for travellers who want to see conservation and not just read about it. The Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park is a protected area in which the Big Five live, and the Nyalazi Gate is an access point for self-drive game drives.
If you would like to stay overnight in a private area, you can visit Kuleni Game Park. For accommodation you can choose from the Leopard Mountain Safari Lodge, the Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge and the Mpila Camp, the latter run by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife. The dry season from May to September is the best travel time according to the country information, when the vegetation is sparser. Hluhluwe lies north of Durban and can be linked by flight or road with Sabi Sand, Kruger and Johannesburg.
The park suits couples and families because the days run calmly and conservation can be explained. How many nights make sense is something you settle on a video call.
