Question 1

Is the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park one park or two parks?

Accepted Answer

It is one park today, but it is formed from two older reserves (Hluhluwe in the north and iMfolozi in the south) that were linked by the Corridor Game Reserve in 1989.

Question 2

Why do people say the park is divided by the corridor road?

Accepted Answer

Because a major road (R618) runs through the central corridor area between the two older sections, and it remains a practical cross-park route. This reinforces the common way people describe the park as having a northern Hluhluwe side and a southern iMfolozi side.

Question 3

Why is the park famous for rhinoceroses?

Accepted Answer

Official information explains that Operation Rhino began here in the 1960s to move rhinoceroses to other protected areas, and conservation organisations describe the park as a major stronghold for both black rhinoceros and white rhinoceros.

Question 4

What makes Hluhluwe different from iMfolozi in terms of landscape?

Accepted Answer

Hluhluwe is generally described as hillier and more rugged with forests and grasslands, while iMfolozi is typically more open savanna associated with the Black iMfolozi and White iMfolozi river systems.
