Travel Photo of the Week: Buffalo at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Park
This shot was taken in a game park at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi which is in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The Hluhluwe-Umfolozi game park (prounced something like: ‘shla-shloo-wee oom-fa-low-zee’) is much smaller than say the Kruger (being about a twentieth of the size) but it is teeming with game and is a very beautiful park with huge landscape areas with a wild feel to them. We took several pictures of a group of male buffalos, enjoying the mud wallow in the warm sunshine. Male Buffalo can be dangerous creatures, but these were quite happy for us to photograph them at leisure, it was as if they were all out on a ‘jolly’!
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is found some 500km north-east of Johannesburg in a small area of the Kruger National Park. Sabi Sabi was established during 1979 and offers luxurious accommodation and safaris to view the park and hopefully see the Big 5 animals of Africa – the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant. There will be plenty of opportunity to see many smaller species of wildlife and some quite close to the accommodation surrounds.
Sabi Sabi Game Reserve’s luxurious accommodation includes the Selati Camp, Little Bush Camp, Bush Lodge and Earth Lodge. Each of the sites include a number of suites and each with a presidential suite (with a private pool) other than the Little Bush Camp. Relax on the verandah and enjoy the views. Dine under the African night skies. Absorb Africa.

One great reason to visit Sabi Sabi Game Reserve is without a doubt for the wildlife. Sabi Sabi can boast one of the highest concentrations of the big 5 African animals, so there’s a very good chance you will see them all!
