No jungle feeling but good park to spot Rhino's.

Great place to see rhinos and big 5. Worth the trip if you're visiting the Durban area.

This is the primier game park in KZN, and is world renowed for the white and black rhinos, and I have regularly spotted, lions, elephants, and other game in the park.
The bush vibe can be lost during the peak holiday seasons, dec- jan school holidays in South Africa, with lots of tourist busses and day- trippers zooming aournd the park. Off season it is a peacefull and wonderfull place to take a weekend break.

Primal Experience

This was my very first Safari experience in Africa, and the trip to Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve lived up to my expectations.

Although we did not get to see any large cats, it was still awesome to see all manner of mammals and birds. The particularly spectacular experience was seeing herds of elephants from just a few feet away, along with giraffe, zebra, all manner of deer, springbok, etc. I particularly remember seeing a beautiful zebra -- he/she looked gorgeous, even as we got close, and then we passed on the other side, we saw a huge gash on her face; the guide said she likely was attacked by a cat, and would be dead by nightfall.

Wildlife is difficult to spot, due to the dense vegetation. But low visitor numbers and lovely landscapes make it a very pleasant experience

This reserve has all the wild animals that Kruger has and being in KwaZulu Natal has a different and interesting bird life.
