Travel Tip: South-Africa

Everyone always goes to Kruger National Park but there is actually a hidden gem with loads to offer…

The Hluhluwe / Umfuluzi Game reserve is located in Kwazulu Natal and is actually 2 reserves in one. The reserves joined in order to accommodate the freedom of movement for the animals during drought, to assist with wildlife conservation and the protection of rhinos. The reserve is smaller than Kruger but is well stocked with wildlife so you will end up seeing much more! Accommodation is fantastic and provided in a truly warm and welcoming African style!

This is the only place in the world where you will find the Big 7 (rhino, leopard, lion, buffalo, elephant, southern right whale and great white sharks) within a few km of each other.

Note of caution: Don’t leave your chicken on the braai (BBQ) as the hyenas will end up having a good dinner and you will go hungry. Humba Kahle (Travel well)
