Thanks to Ghosthunter and Peter_P for providing me with the exact name of the park.
I think in one of the tips you will find why I had forgotten it !

Very interesting! I am still dreaming of South Africa. Lovely place, and lovely people!
Perhaps the bead tradition of New Orleans Mardi Gras has some origins in the Zulu culture of Hluhluwe.
