Day 1: 08h00. Guests are met at your hotel or airport. We depart from Johannesburg or Pretoria traveling in a south-easterly direction towards the town of Volksrust where we enter the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal. Traveling towards Vryheid, the vegetation changes to a lusty greenery of semi-bushveld, a typical Africa scene. From Vryheid we travel through Zulu country where the last battle of British soldiers and Zulu impis took place in 1879. Passing the Zulu towns of Hlobane, Nongoma and Hlabisa, we enter the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve at Gunjaneni entrance gate. Arriving at Hilltop camp, we settle in, and if time allows us, take a short game drive in the park. Enjoy a drink in the bar and have dinner in the Hilltop restaurant.
