Experience the raw, untamed beauty of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park on this unforgettable full-day Big Five safari from Durban. Established in 1895, this is the oldest proclaimed game reserve in Africa and the birthplace of rhino conservation — home to the largest population of white rhinos on the planet.
Your expert field guide leads you through diverse habitats — from dense riverine forest to open savanna — in search of the Big Five. The park is renowned for its exceptional rhino sightings, dramatic lion encounters, and herds of elephant and buffalo that roam freely. Along the way, spot giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, cheetah, and over 340 bird species.
A traditional Zulu lunch is included at a scenic rest camp inside the park, where you can refuel before continuing the afternoon game drive through different sections for maximum wildlife diversity.
