Location
The Multi award - winning Hilltop Camp at Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park is the oldest in the KwaZulu Natal region of South Africa. It was extensively rebuilt and enlarged in the early nineties. Hilltop Camp has excellent tourist facilities with superb game viewing and bird watching in a beautiful setting. Known as Hluluwe's crown upon a forested hill. As the home of Operation Rhino in the 1950s and 60s, the Park became world renowned for its white rhino conservation. Set in the heart of Zululand, the oldest game reserve in Africa where Zulu kings such as Dingiswayo and Shaka hunted and put in place the first conservation laws, where today the "big five" of African legend stalk the verdant savannah. Established in 1895, game viewing is the prime attraction. Viewing hides overlook waterholes enabling visitors to see animals at close range.

Activities

The Park covers some 96000-hectares and contains an immense diversity of fauna and flora. Hluhluwe is characterised by hilly topography, and this Northern section of the park is noted for its wide variety of both bird and animal life. Guided walks are also available, particularly rewarding in the early morning and late afternoon.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
