Wildlife is difficult to spot, due to the dense vegetation. But low visitor numbers and lovely landscapes make it a very pleasant experience

There wasn't much big game to see, we saw a few Elephants and twice we saw a small pride of Lions, but overall we were just seeing Rhino's and Zebra with a few Giraffe. It was a great place to go to see lots of birds, we were even able to get great photos of them as they seemed to never fly away. The food wasn't as good as the full-board safri we were at before, mainly because we had to find our own lunch.

Good roads and hides. The day we visited Hhluhluwe-Umfolozi we unfortunately didn't see a lot of animals. Only impala, giraffe and a rhino at a great distance.

The Karoo is a unique biome and if you enjoy the spectacular peace and quiet of the semi desert with its abundance of specially adapted plants, animals and insects this is for you. Nice pool and good restaurant - and some ancient fossils on display.

Great park for seeing rhinos but not so much for any more of the big 5. I would recommend it for photographers as the views are amazing.

Hluhluwe-Umfolozi is a very beautiful, hilly reserve. There are many animals and they are pretty easy to see.

As a reserve it is open to everyone and you can actually drive your car though on your own. This can tend to make it seem a little crowded.

Be sure to include lunch at the Hilltop Lodge which has fantastic panoramic views of the bushvelt (Afrikaans for bush country).

We saw many more big game animals there, which was particularly exciting for us as we often travel to spectacular / beautiful parts of the world but don't often see big game!
