Itinerary
We will pick you up from Durban and drive northward for 3 hours to our first destination which is Manyoni Private Game Reserve
Manyoni Private Game Reserve is located in the heart of Zululand, which is world-renowned for its excellent game viewing, rich cultural traditions, and conservation history. Initially formed as part of the WWF black rhino range expansion project, Manyoni has become one of the premier big five safari destinations in Kwa-Zulu Natal with a strong focus on endangered species conservation. Manyoni boasts 23,000 hectares of a magnificent Zululand scenery and is just 3 hours from Durban. On arrival we will experience a 3 hours open vehicle game drive with Luleka Safaris on off-road surface to really showcase Africa.
Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve set in the heart of Zululand where Africa’s Big 5 (Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhinoceros) roam the flourishing savannah. Established in 1895 this is the oldest park in South Africa and encompasses over 98 000 hectares of beautiful African landscape. This tour is in a closed vehicle. The Park contains an immense diversity of fauna and flora and is characterised by hilly topography. The list of animals at the park is long and varied. Hluhluwe Game Reserve makes up the northern top half of the reserve which is renowned for its diverse variety of bird and animal life. South of Hluhluwe is the Imfolozi Game Reserve which makes up half of the park. These two reserves were joined together to create the largest reserve in KwaZulu Natal. The Hluhluwe Imfolozi Reserve is noted for its White Rhino conservation. Their Centenary Capture Centre is celebrated for its exceptional research in animal capture.

The tour was amazing and we are highly satisfied! Our guide (Bule) did a great job and we were able to see 4 of the big 5 😊 will come again and close it with the Lions!
From beginning to end, this was a five star experience. The open air Safari provided the opportunity to get up close and personal with many of the big five and some of the most elusive creatures on the African continent. We were able to see a lion on the hunt and track her activity, see herds of wildebeests, giraffes, gazelle’s, zebras, a group of hippopotamuses both in and out of the water, and both black and white rhinos. We also solve plenty of warthogs and monkeys. Our guide was exceptional and the ride to and from the Preserve was comfortable and included, stops for bathroom breaks and food and snacks. Zulu Safari is an exceptional company. The owner himself was our driver joining us on the open vehicle Safari as well. He and his team even took care of us personally and at no additional charge with a stop in Durban for a specific souvenir after the tour. If you’re looking for a great experience with people that really care about what they do don’t miss out on Zulu Safari.
