Info: Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park, located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is the continent's oldest proclaimed nature reserve, established in 1895. Spanning 960 square kilometers, the park is renowned for its conservation efforts, particularly the successful "Operation Rhino" in the 1950s and 1960s, which played a pivotal role in saving the southern white rhinoceros from extinction. Today, the park boasts one of the largest populations of white rhinos globally, alongside the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and both black and white rhinos—as well as cheetahs, African wild dogs, and over 350 bird species. Visitors can engage in guided game drives, walking safaris, and explore the park's diverse landscapes, from rolling hills to riverine forests. Managed by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park remains a testament to successful wildlife conservation and offers an immersive safari experience.
