Depart Richards Bay and travel north on the N2 National Road. After a 1½-hour drive, you'll arrive at the beautiful and action-packed Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve. The reserve shelters not only the wildlife of Zululand but also boasts the indefinable charm and tradition of the natural surroundings in one of the most fascinating parts of Africa.
Hluhluwe-Umfolozi is well known for its small population of the rare white rhino and a spectacular variety of bird and animal life, including elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, blue wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, mountain reedbuck, kudu and warthog. During an open-vehicle game drive, you will likely encounter many of these stunning animals close up.
Enjoy a barbecue lunch, surrounded by beautiful scenery.
This afternoon, continue on another exciting two-hour game drive en-route to the Memorial Gate. Exit the park and return to the pier in Richards Bay, two hours away.
