Hilltop Camp - Winner of the British
Airways ‘Tourism For Tomorrow Award' is a very affordable
Wildlife Safari option in the
Hluhluwe Game Reserve in Kwa Zulu Natal.
Beautifully set on the summit of a forested hill, Hilltop Camp offers fine views of the surrounding countryside.
The camp, the oldest in
KwaZulu-Natal, was extensively rebuilt and
enlarged in the early nineties, and today accommodation at
Hilltop
ranges from a luxury lodge to a variety of superbly appointed
self-catering accommodation facilities.
A forest trail is available to guests at Hilltop. Hlaza Hide has been
developed at the site of the old summerhouse in Hilltop Camp and it
will shortly incorporate a waterhole with soft lighting at night to aid
game viewing.

The Reserve is at Hluhluwe some 3 hours drive from Durban along the North Coast.
