Today the park is the third largest in South Africa and the only reserve where you are virtually assured of good rhino sightings. The region is also the home of the mighty Zulus and we get some insight into their age-old culture when we visit an authentic Zulu village. The last day, after a final game drive, we visit the famous lake St Lucia, now proclaimed a world heritage site. We join a boat cruise on the lake and see a proliferation of bird life, crocodile and hippo in their natural habitat. We return to Durban with fond memories of ancient Africa.
DAY 1. Durban, Zulu Cultural Village, Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve.
We travel north through sugar cane fields, eucalyptus plantations, and past titanium mining operations towards the subtropical coast and bushveld of Zululand. We visit a Zulu village for a cultural experience. We visit the Sangoma (a diviner also erroneously called the 'Witch doctor') and treated to some authentic tribal dancing. After lunch we depart for the “Big Five” Hluhluwe-Umfolozi (Imfolozi) Park where our close encounter with the African wildlife begins.
We reach Hilltop Camp for dinner and overnight in the chalet type accommodation.
DAY 2. Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve.
An early morning rise to join an open vehicle game drive (OPTIONAL) in search of the animals and return for breakfast. The rest of the day we spend game viewing through the reserve in our vehicle with your guide. Return to the camp in time for a late afternoon/early evening open vehicle game drive (OPTIONAL) using powerful spotlights to find the elusive nocturnal animals. We return for dinner after an unforgettable experience, and for a well-deserved rest at Hilltop Camp in the reserve.
DAY 3. Lake St Lucia, Durban.
After an early breakfast we have a last exciting game drive before we leave the reserve for a boat cruise (OPTIONAL) on the famous Lake St Lucia (proclaimed a World Heritage Site in December 1999), a natural paradise around which five complete ecosystems exist with an abundance of bird life, hippo and crocodiles. After this experience we return to Durban where we arrive late afternoon.
