The Hlane Royal National Park of Swaziland lies in the East of the country and is under the protection of King Mswati III. The Reserve covers 22 000 ha of Swazi bushveld, dominated by ancient hardwood vegetation. It is home to elephant, lion, white rhino, giraffe and many other animals. Hlane also boasts a large variety of birds, including the highest density of nesting white backed vultures in Africa.
The name “Hlane” in the local siSwati language means “wilderness.” There are two camps, Ndlovu and Bhubesi.
Ndlovu is found immediately inside Hlane Royal National Park's main gate, easily accessible via the well-maintained tar Simunye road and offers a wide range of accommodation including camping, rondavels and self-catering cottages - all located near to a large open-air restaurant which overlooks a waterhole frequented by elephant and white rhino.
Bhubesi is located 14 km from Ndlovu Camp. The camp offers six self-contained and self-catering beautiful stone cottages with all the comforts of home.
Guests at both camps along with day visitors can take advantage of a wide range of activities - self-drive roads in the dry season, open Land Rover game drives, lion or rhino tours, guided mountain bike trails and birding walks.
