Hluhluwe Backpackers

 
 

Description

We are the closest spot, 1 km, to the Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Game reserve. For the best 4x4 open-vehicle game drives, visit Hluhluwe Backpackers. We call the Big 5 our neighbours and enjoy a stunning 360-degree view onto the surrounding hills of Zululand and the mountains of the national park.

We offer a very warm and homely atmosphere in a unique and peaceful environment. Our main house has three comfortable Double Rooms, two Twin Rooms and two four-bed Dorms, with shared bathroom facilities. The kitchen is very well equipped with all cutlery, crockery, utensils, gas stoves, a fridge and freezer and a microwave. If you are not in the mood for cooking, we can spoil you with one of our tasty meals.

The lounge, dining and reception areas, the Park Pub with cold beers and a variety of drinks, the large garden area with a big boma and braai and outside eating areas, offer you ample space to relax.

Also on offer is a chalet, three stationery parked caravans and camping space - all under the shade of Marula and other indigenous trees.

Please note we have 12 camping sites available. Light and plug points are provided. Our excellent ablution facilities are close by and our boma/braai area is there for your use. We charge R70.00 pp per night for the site.

We recommend you to join us on one of our open-vehicle game drives into the national park, conducted by a professional field guide. On offer is a three-hour drive at R420.00 pp, a six-hour drive at R720.00 pp, and a full-day drive at R1050.00 pp. Extras include fire shows, Zulu dancing, stargazing, birdwatching, and trips to St Lucia and surrounding areas including rural Zulu villages.

Hluhluwe Backpackers does not just offer tranquillity and relaxation, it also offers water - Dave's Still Water. Imagine a fresh, pure water supply bottled on the premises. The quality is crystal clear and the taste is luxuriously thirst-quenching - especially in these warm conditions after game drives. Dave's water is so popular, it is being sold in Hluhluwe town and the Memorial Gate of the national park. Try it - you will never get it better, clearer and purer.

Check-In  10:00 AM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Location: And we are only 1.5 km away from the Memorial Gate.

Fun: We offer Zulu dancing, singing and fire shows at night.

African Safari: We are the closest accommodation spot to the Hluhluwe/Imfolosi Game Reserve. We provide the ultimate game experience by 4x4.

Great Outdoors: Lots of open space for hiking and walking.

Outstanding Views: We have excellent views onto the hills of rural Zululand with Zulu huts in the distance. The mountains of the national park can also be seen. Brilliant stargazing at night when the sky is clear.

We had two very good days at Hluhluwe Backpackers. Everything is clean and we found exactly what we needed such as a braai, gas, dishes and cutlery. Thank you Dave.
