More information about Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Park:
Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Park is situated in the heart of Zululand in Northern KwaZulu Natal. It is the province's premier Big Five Game Reserve, and one of the largest parks in South Africa, covering over 96 000 hectares of stunningly beautiful landscape, a rich compound of misty forests, grass covered hills, dense thickets, expansive and diverse woodlands and enchanting rivers. It has the distinction of being the
oldest formally protected area in Africa, and has a long and interesting conservation history.

The white rhino's close rescue from extinction is one of the great success stories of the Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Park and indeed of South African wildlife conservation. In 1895, with only 20 southern white rhino surviving on earth, and these in Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Park, the species' survival was dire, and provoked the urgent proclamation of the Hluhluwe and Imfolozi game reserves today known as Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Park.

Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park is home to the largest populations of white and black rhino, in Africa, approximately 1600 white rhino and 450 black rhino.  It is from this gene pool of animals many other parks in Africa have been restocked with rhino.  

Also known as a "Big Five Game Reserve" the park boasts black rhino, white rhino, leopard, lion, buffalo and elephant.  Further to the chance of spotting these magnificent animals, you may also see blue wildebeest, hippo, crocodile, warthog, hyena, wild dog (endangered species), giraffe, zebra and many species of antelope including the graceful "nyala", common to the area but rare in other parts of Africa.  Do not miss out on this one!
