Budget
Outside the gate
Owner/family-run
Bush cottages 15.3 km from Hluhluwe town, with their own site at mazuribushcottages.co.za. Guest reviews on Booking.com name the owner as the host, which is the basis for listing it as owner-run. On 24 September 2026 Booking.com showed a twin at R1,260 a night for two. It is outside Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and further from Memorial Gate than the town guesthouses, since the gate is 17 km from Hluhluwe town. Choose it for a quiet, personally run base if the extra driving does not bother you.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryR320 per international adult per day at USD 1 = R16.35 (23 Sep 2026), 2025/26 tariff valid to 31 Oct 2026.
- $20per person, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults pay $120 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Ezemvelo's 2025/26 tariff lists no vehicle fee for Hluhluwe-iMfolozi.
Guests at Ezemvelo's own camps and at the private lodge inside the park pay the conservation fee for every day as well; it is not included in the accommodation rates.
