Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.
Hluhluwe is a small town in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is situated between iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park on the banks of the Hluhluwe River. Hluhluwe is situated on the elephant coast, an area known for its national parks, natural diversity and cultural heritage. Although relatively undeveloped the area is of growing interest to international tourists and travelers. Several local and international movies have been filmed in Hluhluwe, such as I Dreamed of Africa, Ghost Son, and documentaries filmed in the surrounding national parks.
One of the most popular attractions in Hluhluwe is the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve. This reserve is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) and is a must-visit for any wildlife enthusiast. WE recommend taking a guided safari tour where YOU can witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
If YOU are looking to immerse yourself in the local culture, WE suggest visiting a Zulu village. Here, YOU can learn about the Zulu people's way of life and even witness a traditional dance performance. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and YOU will leave with a newfound appreciation for their customs and traditions.
