Imfolozi & Hlunluwe Game Reserve

From the marketplace we headed further north, but before we got to Petes place he wanted to take us on a game drive and show us 2 special parks.
The Imfolozi & Hlunluwe conservation parks are home to the big 5, and are set out as tourist areas but there are no tourists because they don’t do any advertising. The main reason for these parks existence is to conserve and repopulate other areas including world wide. This is also where they train the rangers in capturing and releasing all species, and it’s where the capture and release programs where invented. There is even a museum with photos dating back to the 1930’s of various techniques being used, it was a fascinating place.
Driving through the parks we were super lucky spotting Impala, Zebra, Water Buffalo, elephants, rhino, and even baboons. This was a great start to trip.Les mer
