Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve

The Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park is the jewel in the crown of the KwaZulu-Natal game reserves. Proclaimed in 1895, it is also the oldest game reserve in Africa. Initially 2 separate reserves, they were joined to create a single 94,000-hectare reserve which is home to one-fifth of the world's black and white rhino population. It was here that the internationally acclaimed Operation Rhino started in the 1960s, successfully capturing and relocating white rhino to havens within South Africa and abroad. The Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park was the first reserve to introduce walking safaris, and its wilderness trails are internationally renowned. Visitors can also look forward to spotting the world-renowned Big Five, wild dogs, cheetahs, giraffes, numerous antelope species, as well as a wide variety of bird species.
