Day by day

The journey, one day at a time

01Durban → Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park

Into Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park

Out at first light.

Arrive in Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park, met and transferred to your accommodation. Every white rhino alive today descends, in large part, from the animals protected here. Hluhluwe–iMfolozi is not just a place to see rhino — it is the reason there are rhino to see, the birthplace of modern rhino conservation. Visiting it, especially now under renewed poaching pressure, is to stand at the heart of that ongoing fight.
