Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park

Why go

The park is closely tied to the protection of white rhinoceros and supports both black and white rhinos alongside elephants, buffalo, lions and leopards. Birdlife and antelope add interest even when the larger animals are out of sight. The hilly northern section contrasts with the warmer southern river country.

What to look for

• White and black rhinoceros in a reserve central to rhino conservation.
• Hilly Hluhluwe terrain compared with the river country of Imfolozi.
• Birdlife and antelope such as nyala beyond the better-known large mammals.

Useful to know

• Decide which part of the reserve to explore before planning driving time.
• Allow for slow wildlife viewing and check current park guidance for access and conditions.
