Me and my family had a lovely stay at Hluhluwe Backpackers, the place was very cosy and the staff was friendly. You can meet people of all different nationalities there which makes the time even more enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hluhluwe Backpackers and will definitely be back! Dave and Sabelo were extremely accommodating - nothing was too much for them! Really enjoyed our stay with them! We would recommend Hluhluwe Backpackers to anyone!

We definitely had a very pleasant stay enjoying a very hospitable and relaxed atmosphere due to Dave`s (the host) and his staff´s commitment offering a memorable stay. The facilities were always clean and the decoration was - to us - very stylish. All in all we really enjoyed staying at Dave`s backpacker and will come back next year.

A bit about this place
Closest spot to the Hluhluwe/Imfolozi National Park. Just a stone throw away (1.5km), we call our neighbours the Big Five. Enjoy a stunning 360 degree panorama view onto the hills of the game reserve and into real Zululand. At nightime you've go the gigle of the hyenas in your ear and the glitering star-sky over your head.
Hluhluwe Backpackers is offering quad bike adventures trough Nompondo Comunity !!
Come watch the smiles of the young children.
We offer a very warm and homely atmosphere in a unique and peaceful environment.
Our Main house has comfortable dorms and cosy double room, nicely decorated.
Our Outside Chalet with Double bed offers you lots of privacy.
And for some more "adventure" we rent out 3 stationary parked caravans (as single, twin or double) with view into the park.
Our kitchen is very well equipped with all cuttlery, crockery and utensils, there are gasstoves, fridge and freezer, microwave etc....and if you not in the mood for cooking, let us spoil you with one of our tasty homecooked meals.
Lounge and reception area, the “park pub” with cold beers and range of drinks or the large garden/ outside area (Big Boma and Braai area) offers you ample space to relax.
Hluhluwe Backpackers is set up in a very peacefull environment. Surrounded only by a few zuluhuts in a distance and the hills of the National Park.
Lots of space for camping and caravans (with light and plug points) in the shade of many Marula trees and the chamaeleon forest. Shower and toilets.
All new and stylish renovated, nicely and uniquely decorated and with rustic wooden furniture.
There are lots of things to do and to see and we recommend you to join us on one of our Open Vehicle Game Drives into the Game Reserve conducted by professional Field Guides. (3 Hours, 6 Hours and Full Days available)
