About Hluhluwe Backpackers

We offer open-vehicle game drives (3 hour and 6 hour drives) into the Hluhluwe National Park - conducted by professional Field Guides, Zulu Cultural Tours at Dumazulu, tours to St Lucia Wetlands Park, Sodwana Bay and Cape Vidal were various activities are available. The tours range from 1-day tours to 3-day tours and are loads of fun!!

We are the closest spot to the Hluhluwe/iMfolozi National Park. Being just a stone throw away (1.5km), we call our neighbours the Big Five. Enjoy a stunning 360° panoramic view onto the hills of the game reserve and into real, rural Zululand, with a few Zulu huts in the distance. At nighttime you’ve got the giggle of hyenas in your ears and the glittering stars over your head.

We offer a very warm and homely atmosphere in a unique and peaceful environment. Our main house has comfortable and cozy double rooms, all new and stylishly renovated and uniquely decorated with rustic wooden furniture. Our outside chalet with double bed offers you lots of privacy. And for some “adventure”, try our 2 stationary parked caravans (single, twin or double) with a view into the park. A 12-bed dorm is available as well as ample camping spots in the shade of many Marula trees and the chameleon forest. Light and plug points are available and the ablution facility with 2 toilets and 3 showers are close-by. Our 4 safari tents sleep 2 - 4 people on comfortable blown-up mattresses, also with light and plug points available. All bedding and linen is included.

Our self-catering kitchen is fully equipped with all cutlery, crockery and utensils. There are gas stoves, a fridge / freezer, microwave, etc. And, if you are not in the mood for cooking, let us spoil you with one of our tasty home-cooked meals (By prior arrangement). Tea and coffee is free - help yourselves!

Our reception area has a reading corner where you can sit and enjoy some peace and quiet or send and answer your messages on our internet facility. We have a lounge / inside eating area where softly lit lanterns gives a warm, cozy and romantic atmosphere. Our “Park Pub” is the best spot to sit and enjoy each other’s company - own alcohol must be provided. The outside eating area is also softly lit by lanterns and perfect for the hot and humid nights. Here you can cool down and just relax.

For a real African “braai”, try our Braai/Boma area where we present traditional Zulu dancing and fire shows at night. During the day our gardens provide excellent bird watching and relaxation.

Take a look out our curio cupboard in reception where we also sell post cards, etc. We do offer a laundry service - when the sun is shining. Safe and secure parking, free pick-up from Hluhluwe, Baz Bus and travel assistance available.

Our very friendly staff is at your disposal for any information or assistance you might require. What we do not know, we will find out!!!
