A Nice place with very friendly staff!


We really enjoyed our stay in this Backpackers. The Staff made us feel like home. We booked 3 nights incl. the package deal. It was definitely worth the money. We stayed in the private-room. Showers and Toilets do you need to share. No problem, everything was clean. They make a great campfire for you at night. The dogs are also very cute. Dave, Sean, Gus, you made our stay perfect! Thanks again!

Stars & Game viewing


Pleasant and easy access to the game reserve. The nite sky is stunning with millions of stars on clear nites and if you have a portable telescope this is up your alley.

Description



The best in 4x4 open vehicle safaris since 1969. Closest spot to the Hluhluwe/Imfolozi National Park. Just a stone throw away (1.5km), we call our neighbors the Big Five. Enjoy a stunning 360 degree panorama view onto the hills of the game reserve and into real Zululand. At night-time you've got the giggle of the hyenas in your ear and the glittering star-sky over your head. We offer a very warm and homely atmosphere in a unique and peaceful environment. Our main house has comfortable dorms and cozy double room, nicely decorated.

Our Outside Chalet with Double bed offers you lots of privacy. For more "adventure" we rent out 3 stationary parked caravans (as single, twin or double) with view into the park. Our kitchen is very well equipped with all cutlery, crockery and utensils, there are gas stoves, fridge and freezer, microwave etc and if you not in the mood for cooking let us spoil you with one of our tasty home cooked meals. Lounge and reception area, the “park pub” with cold beers and range of drinks or the large garden/ outside area (big boma and braai area) offers you ample space to relax. Hluhluwe Backpackers is set up in a very peaceful environment. Surrounded only by a few Zulu Huts in a distance and the hills of the National Park.

Lots of space for camping and caravans (with light and plug points) in the shade of many Marula trees and the chameleon forest (Please note: no breakfast for campers.) Shower and toilets.

All new and stylish renovated, nicely and uniquely decorated and with rustic wooden furniture. There are lots of things to do and to see and we recommend you to join us on one of our Open Vehicle Game Drives into the Game Reserve conducted by professional Field Guides. (3 Hours, 6 Hours and Full Days available) More Extras: Fire shows and Zulu Dancing. Bird spotting on the property (at day), sparkling stargazing (at night). Safe and secure area, safe and secure parking 24 hour access, 24 hour check-in. Packed breakfast for self guided early morning drives. Free coffee and tea. Braaipacks & charcoal for sale. Free pickup from Hluhluwe. Baz Bus drop off in front of the hostel.
