And so we left Mkuzi for Hluhluwe Imfolozi Transfrontier Park. This park is called transfrontier because it's actually two parks that overlap each other but at one time were seperated by fencing. It's much better for all animals from both parks to have opened it up and give them more space to roam and move with the fluctuating water and food supply. We stayed in the Hluhluwe side of the park which is the north eastern section. This park has been around since 1932 or possibly earlier as some pictures in the camp dictate. We stayed at Hilltop Camp, named so because it is situated on one of the highest points and has amazing views. This camp has amazing facilities and i'm sad to say is much more commercial than other places we visited.
The Reception at Hilltop Camp, a large building with sightings board, restaurant, bar, gift shop and outside patio at the back overlooking the sprawling bush...
The view off the patio deck and an information slate about birds of prey
Our precious Rondavel hut we stayed in, there is about 20 of them leading down that path to the bathrooms and laundry and kitchen. We were near the parking though so not too many neighbours! There is no camping in the park.
The patio deck with a little flair hehe
This was an actual pelt that was strung over the fake awning in the bar area (cleverly called the Nightjar, which is a bird that only comes out at night) it was a huge lion and i had to show it somehow! ....Anthony thinks this pic is disgusting LOL
Some lovely little mushies on the side of the road in the early morning sun on our first game drive in the park.
