Africa’s oldest proclaimed game reserve and the park that saved the southern white rhino from extinction. Walking safaris here are a tradition stretching back decades — the park’s wilderness trails are considered among the finest in Africa. Set in the undulating hills of KwaZulu-Natal, it offers both rhino density and the thrill of genuine foot-based safari.
