KwaZulu Natal Game Reserves Holidays

If you have dreamed of boundless acacia savannah, fever tree strewn wetlands and a huge safari cast featuring the Big Five, you won’t be disappointed at KwaZulu-Natal's game reserves.

Under puffs of orange clouds, you’ll go on sunrise and sunset drives in search of cheetahs streaking across your path, doe-eyed giraffes snacking on mimosa trees and elephants emerging out of evergreen forest.

In KwaZulu-Natal you’ll sample vibrant Zulu hospitality likely receiving the customary three-time handshake and greeted with a warm ‘sawubona’ hello. You’ll get to know the people dedicated to protecting endangered species. This is especially prevalent in the Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, Africa’s oldest proclaimed nature reserve and where the southern white rhino was saved from extinction thanks to legendary conservation efforts. Be prepared for enchanting safari lodges rooted in sustainability, swish viewing decks overlooking scenic valleys and elaborate dining the quintessential bush way; open-air bomas under celestial skies and amabheshu clad Zulu dancers timing their goatskin ingungu drumbeats to their silver-tongued chants.

When it comes to crafting memorable safaris our wealth of expertise stems from many adventures spent in the sanctuary of the savannah. We’ll take you to uniquely wild places where the untouched and untamed lead you to rare and special wildlife sightings.
