Hluhluwee, It's so Hard to Pronounce!

by Waxbag - last update: Aug 16, 2007

Hluhluwe (shlo-shlo-wee) is apart of the Kwazulu-Natal Park system and is located 15km West off of the N12. It is about 50 Km North North-West of Mtubatuba and about 80 from St. Lucia. It is really one park with Umfolozi to the South. Both are connected by a corridor so the animals can move freely between both parks. Here you kind find wildlife in a beautiful landscape. The best part about thereserves in Kwazulu-Natal are the game hides. They are the best in South Africa and quite possibly the best in Africa (Quite a daring statement I know).

These parks are particulary known for their populations of white rhino and wild dog.

St. Lucia Resort makes a great base for visiting Hluhluwe as well as other reserves in the area. Check out the following links for more information.
