Hluhluwe Game Reserve

Hluhluwe Game Reserve is in the heart of Zululand and is the oldest game reserve in Africa. Zulu kings such as Dingiswayo and Shaka hunted here and put in place the first conservation laws, meaning the "big five" thrive today. Established in 1895, game viewing is the prime attraction. Viewing hides overlook waterholes enabling visitors to see animals at close range.

As the home of Operation Rhino in the 1950s and 60s, the Park became world renowned for its white rhino conservation. The Park covers some 96,000 hectares and contains an immense diversity of fauna and flora. Hluhluwe is characterised by hilly topography, and this northern section of the park is noted for its wide variety of both bird and animal life.
