Safari Tips to

Always take note of the open and closing times in the park both the gates in the Northern section Hluhluwe ( Memorial Gate) as well as the southern gate Umfolozi ( Nylazi Gate ) close and open at the same times, please go to the Hluhluwe sidebar for the times as allocated.

Seasons do play a major role in the success of the safari sighting, be it either in Hluhluwe or Umfolozi this depends on the season as some of the animals do migrate.

The breeding herds of Elephant will migrate down towards the Umfolozi as we approach Summer and vice verse to the Hluhluwe side as we approach winter.

Tips for traveling to the park include the most important factor and that is water where it is and how accessible it may be for you for great sightings.

The Imfolozi section has numerous hides and one must make use of them, however, please note that this requires vigilance while walking to and from the hides,

as well as having a bit more patience while in the hide, take a lot of refreshments with especially inn Summer as it will get extremely hot, this, therefore, the reason to go to the hides.

The Black Umfolozi River is the main contributor to the park's water supply and this gives reason to the sightings that one may encounter while in the Southern section Umfolozi.

The umfolozi Game reserve is not as busy as the more commercial side the Hluhluwe Game Reserve the area of Sontuli Loop and No 17 in the park offer great opportunities to witness some awesome animals.

Hluhluwe Game Reserve and the Umfolozi Game Reserve

Are unique, It's not the largest game reserve in Africa, however, don't be fooled as this reserve boasts of the largest concentration of Rhinos in the World and one may experience various sightings of these creatures while in the reserve, a clear distinction between the two species of Black and White Rhino can easily be made by looking at the mouth of the two Rhino species.

The Black Rhino not Black in color but rather a pointed or hooked lip easily disguises the one from the other. The White Rhino with a square mouth ( Wide Mouth ) is the less aggressive of the two species, therefore it is the Black Rhino species that is one of the Big5 species found in the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve.

Another species with spectacular abilities is the African Wild Dog, they to are found within the Hluhluwe and Umfolozi Game Reserve, this animal that strategizes its hunt has a success rate of up to 85%. The Wild Dog is predominantly found in the Umfolozi or Imfolozi section of the game reserve.

Cheetah numbers have increased in the reserve and sightings of this animal are quite frequent when traveling south, markings of territory may be seen on dead tree stumps as the urine remains evident to the naked eye. Cheetahs have adapted to this game reserve in its hunting capabilities and various sightings have been witnessed frequently.
