Plenty of big animals around and nicely varied scenery.

No jungle feeling but good park to spot Rhino's.

After two days of wildlife in a very dry and sunny Kruger Park I expected to see more of the same in the Hluhluwe umfolozi game reserve. But the park brought an other experience of nature in South Africa. The game reserve was fully green with trees and plants. During an exciting search we came on small distance of elephants, giraffes and rhinos. My pictures and movies from this safari are really sensational. In our group we were surprised how time was flying during this visit. In the Hluhluwe-Umofolozi Game reserve you really should make enough time for a long safari. Driving around the park to find the animals was a nice surprise during the trip threw South Africa.

Easy game viewing with a good spread of species, many of which are easily seen.
Depending on season the scenery can vary from lush in summer to stark in winter, especially in Imfolozi. This does however have it's own beauty.
Hluhluwe can be fairly busy from a tourist point of view as the game viewing is easier. Imfolozi certainly has a wilder, more bush vibe feeling.
Birding is great across the park, with a distinct change in habitat from Imfolozi in the south and going north to Hluhluwe. Hluhluwe presents higher species numbers, but Imfolozi can very often be better for raptors.

The KZN parks enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere in SA.

Excellent to see game. The park is renown for its Black and White rhino, the latter which were saved from near extinction in a capture programme pioneered in this park and many subsequently translocated to other parks. Regretfully rhino are once again under extreme pressure due to increasing demand in the East for rhino horn and many have as a result been brutely killed by poachers. Elephant, Lion, Hippo and Buffalo may amongst other be seen, and if really lucky Leopard. The Greater St Lucia Park is within a short distance where Hippo and Crocodile may be seen.

Friendly staff and small enough to stay away from the tourists
