Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park het tot hitherto bekend gestaan as die Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Wildreservaat en dis Afrika se oudste amptelike verklaarde Wildreservaat.
Dis ook die enigste park wat bestuur word deur die regering in KwaZulu-Natal wat die tuiste is van alles waarna in Afrika verwys word as die "Groot Vyf" wilde diere: die Afrika-leeu, die Afrika-luiperd, die Afrika-olifant en die Kaapse buffel en die Wit of Swart renoster.
In die geheel, het wetenskaplikes 86 spesiale dierspesies daar geïdentifiseer, insluitende die Nyl-krokodil, die gevlekte hiëna, die blouwildebees en die gewone vlakvark, tussen 'n magdom ander.
Hluhluwe-Imfolozi het ook die wêreld se grootste bevolkingstal witrenosters danksy bewaringsinisiatiewe wat daar is.
Die Renoster Vang Eenheid is geakkrediteer met die redding van die renoster.
Renosterbewaring en teling het begin in die park, want spesialiste het daaraan gewerk om hulle terug te bring van die randjie van uitsterf.
Daar was minder as 20 renosters regoor die wêreld in 1900 en nou is daar meer as 10,000 van hulle danksy Operasie Renoster, wat geloods is in die park en uitgevier is gedurende die 1950's en 1960's.
Die park is in die middel van die twee Umfolozi Riviere by hul punt van skeiding waar hulle die Swart- en Wit Umfolozi word.
Topografies hou die Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park alles van laagliggende gebiede in die rivierbeddens van die Umfolozi Riviere tot die steil heuwels met spelonkagtige bergklowe.
Die oorheersende habitat binne die park is die grasvlakte, maat daar is ook 'n paar beboste gebiede.
n Groot gedeelte van die park is heuwelagtig, alhoewel die noordelike deel daarvan rotsagtiger is.

Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park was hitherto known as the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, and it's Africa's oldest officially pronounced nature reserve.
It's also the only park run by the government in KwaZulu-Natal which is home to all of what are referred to in Africa as the "Big Five" game animals: the African lion, the African leopard, the African elephant, and the Cape buffalo, and the White or Black rhinoceros.
In totality, scientists have identified 86 special animal species there, including the Nile crocodile, the spotted hyena, the blue wildebeest, and the common warthog, among a multitude of others.
Hluhluwe-Imfolozi also has the world's largest population of white rhino thanks to conservation initiatives there.
The Rhino Capture Unit is credited with saving the rhino.
Rhino preservation and breeding originated in the park as specialists worked to bring them back from the brink of extinction.
There were fewer than 20 rhinos around the globe in 1900, and now there are more than 10,000 of them because of Operation Rhino, which was launched in the park and ran during the 1950s and 1960s.
The park sits in the middle of the two Umfolozi Rivers at their point of division when they become the Black and White Umfolozi.
Topographically, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park holds everything from low-lying areas in the riverbeds of the Umfolozi Rivers to precipitous hills with cavernous ravines.
The predominant habitat inside the park is the savanna, although it also holds some wooded areas.
Much of the par is hilly, although the northern part of it is craggier.
