Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Safari Guide

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi holds a special place in conservation history as the reserve that saved the white rhinoceros from the brink of extinction. In the 1960s, Operation Rhino captured and relocated white rhinos from here to reserves across Africa, rebuilding the species from fewer than 100 animals to over 20,000 today.

The reserve offers excellent Big Five viewing in a landscape of green hills, deep valleys, and subtropical forest markedly different from the flat Kruger bushveld. The Wilderness Trail system — multi-day walking safaris through the backcountry — is one of the finest wilderness experiences in southern Africa.
