Bushbaby Lodge, Hluhluwe

Treat yourself to traditional home cooking, or make use of the equipped communal kitchen and cater for yourself.

Enjoy leisurely walks while viewing the rich bird live and game of the area.

We are only 20 minutes away from the Hluhluwe/Umfolozi Game Reserve and various exciting activities can be organized in the area.
The Hluhluwe River Flood Plain is one of the only areas in the whole of South Africa where Yellow throated, Pink throated and Orange throated Long claw species can be seen together. The floodplain houses thousands of migrant water birds, as well as ducks, egrets etc.
Three east coast endemic birds can be found in the area namely, Rudds Apalis, Pink throated Twin spot, Lemon breasted Canary. This is a major attraction not only for local birders, but for overseas birders who travel to destinations where there is a likelihood of seeing endemic species. Hluhluwe is also home to some very special birds like Green Coucal, Southern Banded Snake Eagle, Secretary bird, Black winged Plovers and Honey Bussard. Bonamanzi is stronghold for the rare African Broadbill. This little bird is easy to see at Bonamanzi, and is known to breed in the park. It is known in South Africa from only two other rather tenuous sites, and is only known to be present in good numbers in Bonamanzi, Mkuze, Ndumo, etc.
