DON'T Stay at Hluhluwe Backpackers


The kitchen was very untidy, dirty and with broken sink. There are only two showers and two toilets in the house, one of the showers was obstructed and the lightening in the toilets was broken so that you had to find your way in the dark. The owner and his manager and friends kept playing loud (and very bad) music until late, and only turned it off when I asked them to for the third time. I would definitely NOT recommend it.

Very much enjoyed


A two nite stop over, no problems other than a lack of shade, which was no fault of the Backpackers as the trees had been blown down in the last bad storm experienced. Regards, Les

A reasonable place to stay next to the Memorial Gate


Would like to recommend the place as it is very reasonable for the price and a nice and quiet place compared to other backpackers I know. The hosts (Dave and Sean) there are very friendly and welcoming and always willing to give good advice what to do and where to go. The kitchen is fully equipped and caravans were clean. Would like to come again any time. Pamela, Alex and Rodney (Durban, Germany, Durban)

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 three 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).
