Kruger National Park is massive and one would need at least 3 to 5 days to travel through the park. Being so large one would also need to know what the migration patterns are for specific animals when entering on a safari. The Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park is still large but manageable. Should you like to venture out on safari we would advise visiting the Imfolozi side of the park as this side is extremely popular and always well worth it.

Clients Reviews
Great Day Safari
Our Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park half-day tour with Heritage was amazing!! All credits to Jason, our tour guide. Jason was really patient, attentive, and friendly. He shared lots of interesting details on wildlife, knew the park very well, and always looked for the best sights. We saw impalas, warthog, wildebeest, zebras, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and a lion. The food was great too! An experience we'll never forget.
