Ithala Game
Reserve Safaris
We recommend including Ithala on the
Hluhluwe Umfolozi and Kruger Park to Zululand Wildlife Safaris in South
Africa.
An opportunity to visit
a most beautiful game reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal that offers
a wide diversity of both highveld and lowveld animal species. You could
see both black and white rhino, elephant, leopard, warthog, giraffe,
eland, red hartebeest, tsessebe, oribi, impala, kudu, mountain and common
reedbuck, klipspringer, blackbacked and sidestriped jackal, along with
numerous other species. Rock hyrax (dassies) abound in the camp area
at Itala.
Even the birdlife and birding is excellent. Ostrich, black eagle and
secretary birds frequently seen.
Ntshondwe Camp - Accommodation is situated in the most picturesque setting.
Wonderful restaurant and swimming pool. An excellent area for game walks
and the night safari drives in open 4X4 safari vehicles very interesting
with a good chance of seeing the rare aardwolf. Lunches from the excellent
Take-away Restaurant allow flexibility and extended game drives.

We do not offer day tours
to Itala from Durban or Johannesburg as the direct travelling time is
approximately 4,5 and 5 hours respectively. A two night visit is ideal
to explore this most intersting game park where the general game viewing
is outstanding. This primarily due to the mid-altitude grasslands being
open making the viewing of the abundant antelope relatively easy
to find.
