Horse Trails
eHlane, the wilderness of eastern Swaziland, where the hot still beat of Africa continues as it has for thousands of years. A network of game-viewing roads criss-cross the park’s flat terrain, weaving between 1000 year old hardwood vegetation and shallow pans which attract great herds of animals during the dry winter months.
Hlane, this Kingdom’s largest protected area, is home to the largest herds of game in Swaziland. Lion. Elephant and white rhino are often see, and the bird life is outstanding. It is home to the most southerly nesting colony of Marabou Stork, and nesting pairs of many different varieties of eagles and vultures grace the skies above Hlane. Hlane has the highest density of raptors in Swaziland.
Only an hour from Manzini on the Lubombo route between the Kruger Park and KwaZulu-Natal, Hlane’s two camps are easily accessible throughout the year, Also a popular stop en route to and from Mozambique, Hlane is suitable for day trips or extended overnight visits.
Reminiscent of yesteryear, Ndlovu Camp is a rustic, but comfortable self-catering rest camp with five fully-equipped thatched huts and a large camping ground. Overlooking a busy waterhole, Ndlovu is a place to relax and absorb the simple pleasures of Africa - sunrise, sunset, food cooking on the fire and the muffled roar of the lion. The absence of electricity here only adds to the atmosphere.
Bhubesi Camp is a modern self-catering camp of three spacious family cottages. Perched on the banks of the Umbulazana River, enjoy all the comforts of home, including electricity, in a pristine riverine setting.
Hlane is an undiscovered paradise for self-drive adventurers.
