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.

Location:
The Reserve is at Hluhluwe some 3 hours drive from Durban along the North Coast.
The nearest town which has a full range of services is Hluhluwe which is 25 kms away from the Reserve.



Rooms:
All units are serviced daily. From the bottom of the price range up, facilities include: twenty 2-bedded rondavels with communal ablutions and kitchens; seven 2-bedded and twenty-two 4-bedded self-catering chalets.

The Twenty 2-bedded chalets, which are not self-catering, are within close proximity to the main reception area, are what we recommend.
