Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve is one off the oldest reserves in Africa. It was proclaimed in 1895 and covers 96,000 ha. Characterized by rolling hills and open spaces, it is home to the white rhino, once almost extinct. Today it boasts a healthy population of 1710. Due to the dedicated conservation efforts of the Kwazulu-Natal Parks Authorities since 1920, these animals are now no longer endangered. Apart from the black and white rhino, the rest of the Big Five plus the Nyala antelope, a variety of other animals and birds can be found in this park

Health
Ticks can be picked up when walking in the bush or long grass. Ticks, such as pepper ticks, burrow under the skin and can be itchy. The best way to avoid them is by wearing socks and insect repellant on exposed skin. After walks check all over your body for any ticks.
Sunburn: Temperatures in summer can be very high with February as the hottest month of the year. The sun is at its strongest between 11h00 and 15h00. Always wear a hat and use a waterproof suntan lotion with a high protection factor. Drink plenty of fluids and remember that cloud and wind are no protection against sunburn, because it is the sun's ultra violet rays that cause sunburn and they penetrate cloud.
