Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve & The Greater St. Lucia Wetlands Park (isiMangaliso) Exclusive 2 Night 3 Day Itinerary

A stimulating combination of wet and wild, this tour encompasses two diverse game viewing venues – each one unique!
The “wet” is represented by the St. Lucia Wetland Park: Declared a World Heritage Site in 1999, this Park presents an ever-changing panorama of lake, marshland, forested coastal dunes and grasslands. The lake is home to large populations of hippo and crocodile and is considered a wetland of international importance. In addition to the fauna, over 350 bird species have been recorded in the Park’s rich diversity of habitats and ecosystems.
Our “wild” component is comprised of the Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve. Originally two separate Reserves, Hluhluwe and iMfolozi are now a single amalgamated game reserve. In the 1950’s these two areas were the oldest proclaimed wildlife sanctuaries in Africa and received worldwide recognition for their efforts in saving the white rhino from extinction. Hluhluwe/iMfolozi is the genetic home of the southern species of white rhinoceros, and all populations in the world have their origins here. The park also supports one of the largest black rhinoceros populations in the world today. However, the Park is not just a rhino reserve: over eighty species of mammal, including the Big Five - Buffalo, Rhino, Leopard, Elephant and Lion – and over 300 species of birds are supported by a wide range of habitats in its 96000 hectares.
