Hluhluwe Backpackers is set up in a very peaceful environment, surrounded only by a few Zulu huts in a distance and a panorama view of hills of the National Park.
We are based in a World Heritage Site namely the Isimangaliso Wetland Park.
The iSimangaliso Wetland Park was listed as South Africa’s first World Heritage Site in December 1999 in recognition of its superlative natural beauty and unique global values.
The 332 000 hectare Park contains three major lake systems, eight interlinking ecosystems, 700 year old fishing traditions, most of South Africa’s remaining swamp forests, Africa’s largest estuarine system, 526 bird species and 25 000 year-old vegetated coastal dunes – among the highest in the world. The name iSimangaliso means miracle and wonder, which aptly describes this unique place.
