Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park - Central Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa - State/Provincial Parks on Waymarking.com

Hluhluwe–Imfolozi was originally three separate reserves that joined under its current title in 1989. The park is the only state-run park in KwaZulu-Natal where all the big five game animals occur.

The park is home to 86 special species including: Nile crocodile, hippo, cheetah, spotted hyena, blue wildebeest, jackal, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck, nyala, eland, kudu, impala, duiker, suni, reedbuck, warthog, bushpig, mongoose, baboons, monkeys, a variety of tortoises, terrapins, snakes and lizards. It is one of the world's top spots for viewing nyala. The park is a prime birding destination and is home to 340 bird species.

For our first safari in Africa, at the Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park, we saw three of the big five: the buffalo, the rhinoceros and the elephant. We encountered the lion and the leopard at Kruger National Park a few days later.

Park Type: Day Use Activities: Half day and full day safari Background: The Hluhluwe and Imfolozi reserves were founded in 1895 and are the oldest such sanctuaries in Africa. It was here that the world-acclaimed Operation Rhino was introduced during the 1960s, successfully capturing and relocating white rhino to havens within South Africa and abroad. As a result, this country's white rhino population is now 12 times the 1960 count of 500. Today a single park, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is focusing its efforts on saving the endangered black rhino, whose number in Africa has dwindled from 14 000 to a pitiful 2 550 in the past decade. You'll find at least a fifth of the world's black and white rhino population here. Date Established?: 1895 Link to Park: [Web Link] Park Fees: Not listed Additional Entrance Points: Not Listed
