Around the Durban area Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game reserve, also known as Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game reserve, is the most popular of the larger Safari Parks near Durban. A Durban safari is an opportunity that cannot be missed!

From time of pick-up, it is approximately a 2.5-hour Cheetah Interaction Tour. During transit, your guide will share a bit of history with you and you are encouraged to ask questions to reap the full benefit of the tour.

You will have the opportunity to encounter and learn more about to the fastest land mammal, the Cheetah! This has proven a firm favourite with our guests. From there it’s onto Hluhluwe Imfolozi Big 5 Game Reserve. Have your cameras ready! This will be home for the evening.

Your qualified guide will ensure your Durban Safari Tour will be memorable as he shows off what wildlife Hluhluwe Imfolozi game reserve has to offer!
A 2-hour boat cruise the following day on the world heritage site of Lake St Lucia in Isimageliso Wetland Park, viewing Hippos and crocodiles making it well worth the experience.

Before we get to the game reserve we will make an hour and 15 minute stop at a Cat rehabilitation center outside Hluhluwe. This is an amazing place where there are trying to get these endangered wild Cats back into the wild. There are 4 Species of Cat; the Cheetah, Serval, Caracal and African wild cat. We get to interact with them hands on. The cheetah being the most special as it is a large an intimidating cat. Always good for a new Facebook profile picture!
