This is a great reserve to see Rhino. The roads aren't great but worth the effort as the scenery is beautiful.

Very nice park with plenty of wildlife, rhinos in particular. As there are not so many roads, and vegetation is often thick, spotting animals is not so easy, but this increase the taste for searching and tracking.

Too little time..
Arrived straight from some of the magical spots in Kwazulu like Ithala and Cape Vidal so had high expectations. The park was great - very scenic and great accom at the Mpila? camp. Saw rhinos and lots of other stuff on a morning self drive. Only 'downside' was a pretty drunk honeymoon couple on a night drive but even that was entertaining in its own way...

Highly recommended park to visit. was well and truely satisified with the service provided.
All of the above was excellent so much wildlife to see and beautiful scenery. Is one of the most popular parks to visit and to see the big 5 is possible to see due to lots of wildlife and the size of the park. On our safari we saw lots and was delighted with the day considering poor weather conditions on and off. It soon brightened up and the whole experience was rewarding.

One of the best places to view wildlife in KwaZulu-Natal
Years ago, Hluhluwe and Imfolozi were two separate parks. Imfolozi became known as being ground zero for Operation Rhino, Dr Ian Player’s very successful initiative to bring the white rhino back from the brink of extinction. Today still, the park is a very good place to see white rhinos. Also in the Imfolozi section of the park are the famous wilderness trails, where you go out on multi-day walks through areas accessible only on foot. These walks are not for the faint-hearted, but should be on the top of every serious nature-lover’s bucket list.
Hilltop Camp, in the Hluhluwe section, is the park’s flagship camp. It feels something like a resort, with a busy restaurant (with incredible views out and down over the park) and shops, and there

is a variety of accommodation available here. Throughout the park, there is a variety of accommodation that suitable to different size groups: rondavels, cottages and what once were warden’s houses.The last time I was at Hluhluwe-Imfolozi I came across five collared wild dogs that had recently been released. They’d just killed an impala, and the twilight battle between the dogs and three hungry hyenas will always stick in my mind as a true indication of survival in the wild.

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!

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).

This is a smaller reserve and while it does include a beautiful stretch of beach, it just wasn't as beautiful as Phinda. But there was plenty of wildlife to be seen.
