South Africa - 7-day Kwazulu Natal Safari in Hluhluwe, Amakhosi & St Lucia - Private accommodated

Twice daily game drives are conducted to explore the magnificent hills and valleys of the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park.

Our guides will share their wealth of bush experience which involves the identifications of animals, trees, grasses, insects and birds. The medicinal uses of plants and local folk lore is also discussed as well as looking for the ever fascinating Big 5!

Guests can enjoy guided walks lasting 3-4 hours inside the park in Big 5 territory. No children under 14 years. Additional cost.

Treat yourself to a relaxing spa treatment - extra cost.

Visits into the local Mpembeni Community are offered as well as a visit to the Isibindi Foundation community centre.
