Hlane Royal National Park
Lions, elephants and vultures across 22,000 hectares of protected land. Hlane means ‘wilderness’ in siSwati. Out here, the name feels accurate.
Discover everything about this location.
Wilderness is more than a name here.
Hlane lies in Eswatini and was once the largest hunting area in the region. Today, it is a protected national park.
Lions, elephants, vultures and marabou storks are among the animals found here. The landscape rewards a slower pace and a close watch on what is moving around you.
An Eswatini safari through Hlane can be done in your own 4x4 or with a guide.
Ndlovu sits at the centre of the action.
Ndlovu Camp is the main base for activities inside Hlane National Park. Several park activities leave from here.
Bhubesi Camp lies 16 kilometres away. It is quieter and has self-catering facilities, outside the part of the park where the endangered species are kept.
Drive yourself or head deeper in with a guide.
Hlane works well for self-drive game drives. You set the pace and decide where to stop for longer.
A guided walk shifts the perspective. The 4x4 stays behind for a while, and the focus moves to tracks, sounds and the smaller details around you.
