*Game drives: Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park is 97 000 hectares in extent and consists of two distinct areas namely the northern Hluhluwe section and the southern iMfolozi section. To fully appreciate the whole area one would need a full day to explore the Park. This can either be done as a self-drive ( in your own vehicle without a guide ) or with a professional Safari operator in an open-game viewing vehicle who will meet you at the gate to Hluhluwe iMfolozi Game reserve.

Hippo and croc sightings are possible. *Mountain biking: We recommend a ride to False Bay Park which is a 2300-hectare reserve hugging the western shoreline of Lake St Lucia, and forms part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. This is a 20-kilometre ride which is flat and easy to ride for novice riders. This wonderfully scenic ride passes through beautiful coastal forests on smooth tar and gravel roads and there are a number of lookout points for picnic stops. Bring your own bikes and helmets. tubeless tyres are recommended.
