    Hluhluwe

    The Elephant coastal region of Zululand, Hluhluwe allows visitors to experience unspoiled Africa, to come as close to the savage splendour of this magnificent land as nature allows. Hluhluwe is a small farming community which originated as a railway station serving the local community as a transport depot for their produce. It is today the tourism staging post for the northern regions of KwaZulu-Natal and more importantly the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park and the St Lucia Park - two of the oldest game reserves in Africa.

    The Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve covers a combined area of 90 000ha and it was here that the white rhino was saved from extinction, and as a result, South Africa's white rhino population is now 12 times the 1960 count of 500. Established in 1895 game viewing is the prime attraction, and viewing hides overlook pans and waterholes enabling visitors to see animals at close range. A visit to this world renowned game reserve will bring you into contact with the Big Five - lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino - as well as encounters of the natural kind with a wide variety of other indigenous game.

    The World Heritage site of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park boasts five distinctive eco-systems ranging from sub-tropical seas, coral reefs and unspoiled sandy beaches to lush forests, grassy plains, dry savanna and reed and papyrus wetlands.

    The entire Hluhluwe region is a bird watcher's paradise, with sightings ranging from the ubiquitous pelicans and flamingoes of Lake St Lucia to rarer locals such as Rudd's Apalis, the Pink throated Twinspot and Lemon-breasted Canary.
