Outside the gate
Owner/family-run
A tented camp of nine safari tents in the Msinene Conservancy, 13.9 km from Hluhluwe town, which describes itself on zululandlodge.com as a privately owned tented camp. On 24 September 2026 Booking.com listed a twin with dinner and breakfast at R2,952 a night for two. The conservancy lies outside Hluhluwe-iMfolozi; for the park you drive to Memorial Gate, 17 km from Hluhluwe town, and pay the daily fee there. Dinner included makes the long park days easier, since the park's only restaurant is at Hilltop. Choose it for a small tented camp with meals at a modest price.

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.
