Article History

Hluhluwe Game Reserve, game reserve in northern KwaZulu/Natal province, South Africa, established in 1897. It lies 140 miles (225 km) northeast of Durban and has an area of 89 square miles (231 square km). Its name is a Zulu word for the local thorny rope plant. Hluhluwe, a subtropical region of undulating green hills and wooded valleys, is best known for the black rhinoceros and the rarer, larger white rhinoceros. Other wildlife includes buffalo, nyala and other antelope, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, warthog, and a wide variety of birds, including the bustard, vulture, and roller. The reserve’s headquarters are at Mtubatuba.
