目的地概况与亮点
位于南非夸祖鲁‑纳塔尔省的赫卢赫卢韦‑印姆弗鲁兹公园（Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park，简称 HIP）于1895年设立，是非洲历史最悠久的野生动物保护区之一。公园占地约96 000公顷（约960平方公里），地形多样，从北部的起伏丘陵到南部的河谷与草原一应俱全。
公园分为北段的 Hluhluwe 区和南段的 iMfolozi 区，两者虽合并运作，但各具特色：北段山势更为起伏，南段草原与水源更多，野生动物视野较开阔。
在动物观察方面，HIP 是典型的非洲五大观赏胜地——这里可见非洲象、非洲水牛、狮子、非洲豹和犀牛。值得一提的是，公园拥有全球最大之一的白犀牛种群，是犀牛保育的成功典范。此外，鸟类资源同样丰富，已记录超过300种。
规划行程与实用信息
如何到达
从德班（Durban）出发，驾车约2.5小时即可抵达公园北入口。自驾是最灵活的方式，亦可从附近城镇搭车进入。
最佳访问时间
一般推荐旱季（5月至9月）前往，因为植被较稀、动物更集中在水源处，观赏机会更高。湿季虽景色葱茏，但雨量大、动物散布广。
停留时间建议
若时间有限，一日游也可；但建议至少安排2天以上，这样可更从容探索不同地形、提升野生动物相遇几率。
住宿与设施
公园内设Hilltop营地（北部）和Mpila营地（南部）等，提供从自助小屋到豪华帐篷不等的住宿选择。门票、地图、营地开放与关闭时段均应提前查明。
必做活动
- 清晨／傍晚驱车游猎（game drive）是观赏动物的黄金时段。
- 自驾线路可沿着主要道路、河谷或水源点行驶，建议购地图标注水坑、观景点。
- 鸟类观察、小径漫步、摄影停留点同样值得安排。
深度体验
要深度体验HIP，不只是看动物，更是理解生态保护与文化脉络。公园曾是桑人（San people）及祖鲁王国的狩猎场，这段历史为今日赋予独特文化背景。
在iMfolozi区的开阔草原、水源地，相对容易看到象、水牛、狮群；在Hluhluwe区的丘陵与山地地形，则是犀牛与豹较常出没。停车于水坑旁，关闭发动机静候，是提升观察体验的方法。

Hluluwe-Umfolozi has drastically improved since the last time I visited. I spotted four of the Big 5 within a few hours of visiting and so many other wildlife. I had a lovely day driving through the game reserve, it was a relaxing and enjoyable trip

Had a one night sleepover in Mpila on the way through. Good gameviewing as usual. Tented accommodation needs a serious bit of maintenance though. Staff were very accommodating as we were running a bit late for check in.

The place is awesome. we had a very good time there. Highly recommended to visit, suitable for families and kids. Rangers guide were really helpful, good knowledge, and polite. Its a must if you are coming to Durban.

We saw four of the ‘big five’ within our two hour visit to this historic park. It is a huge park and quite nice to see the wildlife broadly available to see. I found our ranger to be difficult to hear, and at times not interested in the same things. We stopped to look at two bird species in the distance he was interested in while blowing past a white rhino, which of course is of big interest to us as tourists from out of the country. The park is very beautiful and the landscapes were amazing, worth a visit in this amazing area of South Africa.

What an amazing experience! Full day, half day, sunrise or sunset adventures. You can see some much of what Africa has to offer here. The big five plus so much more!
