Spanning over 96,000 hectares, Hluhluwe iMfolozi is well-known as being the former hunting grounds of the Zulu Royal family but is now recognised for its efforts surrounding rhino conservation in South Africa.

How this lodge makes your trip more responsible

Hluhluwe iMfolozi is the last stronghold for both white and black rhinos in Africa, with a pioneering conservation success story. Built on community-owned land, Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge has collaborated with both the local Mpembeni Community and the game park, creating much-needed employment and generating revenue for conservation.
