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

This reserve has all the wild animals that Kruger has and being in KwaZulu Natal has a different and interesting bird life.

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.

Rhinos and peace
Overall rating
5/5

After numerous visits to Kruger, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi gives a sensation of peace and authentic bushlife. Accommodation (a safari tent at Mpila) was superb, even if it meant keeping an eye on vervets and warthogs (my husband had to negotiate with an old male warthog who was determined to take the rubbish bag away - and so was my husband!). We also went for a game walk and were lucky to come across some rhinos. I also managed to spot a few more birds to add to my list, as well as one or two spiders (but I didn't spend to long with those!). One of the other advantages over Kruger is the fact that it is much less crowded and people seem to behave more sensibly.

Glorious, wild experience - very much on our own!

We spent a couple of nights in lovely accomodations. We went on an early morning bush-walk, accompanied by a ranger - heard more than we saw (the animals seems to be more aware of humans away frojm the car than when were were in it!), although we HEARD A LOT - very exciting, and we did get a great view of some White Rhino's from a safe (above) viewing point. We had been advised that a park employee had been thrown from a horse and unfortunately killed (by a lion), so we were pleased to have a guide.
