Big 5 Safari – Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park with Safari For Six

Step into the wild with Safari For Six, the original boutique safari company in St Lucia, on an unforgettable Big 5 safari into the legendary Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Covering over 100,000 hectares of pristine wilderness, this park is Africa’s oldest proclaimed game reserve and a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic wildlife adventure in KwaZulu-Natal.

Hluhluwe–iMfolozi is world-renowned for its pioneering role in saving the Southern White Rhinoceros from extinction. Once reduced to fewer than 100 animals, the park’s protection and dedicated conservation work helped grow the population to thousands, securing its place as a global model for wildlife preservation. Today, visitors can witness these magnificent rhinos grazing freely in their natural habitat a privilege found in very few places on Earth.

Unlike flat savannah parks, Hluhluwe–iMfolozi is famous for its rolling hills, lush valleys, and sweeping views. From high ridges you can gaze across endless wilderness, while deep riverbeds cut through the park, creating perfect habitats for wildlife encounters. This rich diversity of landscapes ensures no two safaris are ever the same each drive brings fresh adventure and a deeper connection to nature.
