Upon landing at Durban Airport, you will be transferred to Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge, which will be your home as you explore the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park for the next 3 days. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is the oldest game reserve in South Africa and is famous for its dense population of rhino. Enjoy an afternoon game drive (time permitting)
The morning game drive starts at sunrise. You will be woken up before sunrise for tea and coffee before the game drive starts. Then you are off for 3 hours to find as many animals as possible before they all find trees to hide under in the heat of the day.
When the game drive returns to the lodge, you will be served a big cooked breakfast and have time to relax. You can sit by the pool, read a book, take a nap and just absorb being out in the bush.
The afternoon game drive will start around 16:00, after high tea. It will last for +-3 hours, with a stop somewhere for sundowners. You will return to the lodge in the dark, with a spotlight to look for nocturnal animal.
Today, you will be transferred to Ghost Mountain, in the heart of Zululand. Ghost Mountain is the ideal spot from which to explore the coastal reserves of Zululand and the Elephant Coast, as well as learn more about Zulu culture.
Today, you will be transferred to Thonga Beach Lodge, situated on the shores of the isiMangaliso Wetland Park. isiMangliso means 'Place of Miracles' in Zulu and as you relax on the wild beach and explore the wetlands, you will see why. Thonga Beach Lodge has an array of fun activities to keep you entertained and allow you to explore the park.
After breakfast, you will be collected and transferred to the airport for your flight home. You can choose to be transferred to Richard's Bay Airport, which is closer, or to Durban Airport, which is further away, but offers more flights.
