An ancient land steeped in the history of the ‘people of heaven’- the mighty Zulu nation – where heaven itself really does seems to reach down and caress the land. An untouched wilderness through which runs the mfulaWozi – the sacred river of knowledge. This has become the perfect setting for a new reserve in northern Zululand aptly named MfulaWozi Wilderness.

Bordering on the south and south west edge of the mFolozi wilderness area – close to the Zulu capital of Ulundi and mFolozi reserve’s Cengeni gate –  the incorporating of the community lands of the Zulu, Biyela and Mthembu tribes has added to the protection of the wilderness area through the creation of this new mFulaWozi reserve, providing an area of 6000 hectares of pristine wilderness, along with two beautiful new lodges where visitors can immerse themselves in 5-star luxury and explore the new reserve area.

KZN Wildlife’s Hluhluwe-mFolozi park; the oldest proclaimed reserve in Africa,  is a veritable ‘sanctuary within a sanctuary’ for the wildife that still roams here undisturbed by man. It was here, nestled between the confluence of the Black and White mFolozi rivers, where the last 50 rhino on earth where re-discovered, and the first capture and relocation techniques where developed in the early 1960’s by the pioneering conservationist Dr Ian Player and his dedicated team.
