This is one of my favorite parks. Like Mkuze it has great hides. We saw a pack of wild dogs nearly take out an Impala.

Great park for seeing rhinos but not so much for any more of the big 5. I would recommend it for photographers as the views are amazing.

This is a smaller reserve and while it does include a beautiful stretch of beach, it just wasn't as beautiful as Phinda. But there was plenty of wildlife to be seen.

Hluhluwe-Umfolozi is a very beautiful, hilly reserve. There are many animals and they are pretty easy to see.
As a reserve it is open to everyone and you can actually drive your car though on your own. This can tend to make it seem a little crowded.
Be sure to include lunch at the Hilltop Lodge which has fantastic panoramic views of the bushvelt (Afrikaans for bush country).

Highly recommended park to visit. was well and truely satisified with the service provided.
All of the above was excellent so much wildlife to see and beautiful scenery. Is one of the most popular parks to visit and to see the big 5 is possible to see due to lots of wildlife and the size of the park. On our safari we saw lots and was delighted with the day considering poor weather conditions on and off. It soon brightened up and the whole experience was rewarding.

Too little time..
Arrived straight from some of the magical spots in Kwazulu like Ithala and Cape Vidal so had high expectations. The park was great - very scenic and great accom at the Mpila? camp. Saw rhinos and lots of other stuff on a morning self drive. Only 'downside' was a pretty drunk honeymoon couple on a night drive but even that was entertaining in its own way...

Very nice park with plenty of wildlife, rhinos in particular. As there are not so many roads, and vegetation is often thick, spotting animals is not so easy, but this increase the taste for searching and tracking.

This is a great reserve to see Rhino. The roads aren't great but worth the effort as the scenery is beautiful.
