Nestled in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park stands as a beacon of natural splendor and conservation success. Located approximately 280 kilometers north of Durban, this renowned wildlife reserve spans over 96,000 hectares and is celebrated as the oldest proclaimed nature reserve in Africa. It is globally acknowledged for its innovative conservation efforts, particularly the groundbreaking "Operation Rhino" of the 1950s and 60s that played a crucial role in saving the white rhino from the brink of extinction. Visitors to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi can embark on exhilarating game drives across its rolling savannas and rugged hills, where the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—roam freely. The lush, subtropical landscape, crisscrossed by the Hluhluwe and Umfolozi Rivers, offers a picturesque backdrop for birdwatching and exploring diverse ecosystems teeming with Africa’s abundant wildlife. The reserve's rich archaeological and cultural heritage adds to its allure, making it a captivating destination for travelers seeking both adventure and a profound connection with nature.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park

I spent hours on a self drive tour, meandering on narrow dirt roads while spotting wildlife. It was amazing. 
I drove narrow roads and saw a herd of elephants. Surely, Who created these majestic animals must have known what He was doing. I felt like I was in the presence of greatness. 

I saw the most beautiful Zebras just hanging out on each other. Gorgeous with their stripes, and I absolutely fell in love with them and KZN.

The adventure was driving on sand.
