A Private Reserve

Kuleni Game Park is a unique bush retreat designed for families, friends, or couples who want to experience the richness of wildlife, diverse flora, and vibrant birdlife in a serene environment. The park features individually styled, eco-sensitive timber lodges that offer luxurious accommodations within the natural beauty of the bush. Guests are invited to explore the property, which encompasses four distinct ecosystems: pristine sand forest, wetlands, thorn scrub, and grassland. Visitors can enjoy walking or cycling along the numerous trails, all while observing the wide variety of animals and birds that call Kuleni home. Located just 16 km from Hluhluwe town, on the way to Sodwana Bay, Kuleni is surrounded by various attractions and activities, making it an ideal base for exploration. The park is named after a small hill in the area. Once a cattle farm, the property has been carefully restored to its natural bush state through years of dedicated care and attention. Today, it provides a peaceful environment filled with abundant wildlife and birdlife, perfect for relaxation and adventure. Kuleni Game Park has recently expanded by merging with four neighbouring properties, creating a larger conservancy focused on preserving this beautiful landscape.
