Very enjoyable stay at Hlane. Nice clean rooms with excellent game viewing, saw many Rhino and this is one of the reasons for coming here. The only negative is that there is no electricity at Ndlovu camp so rooms are lit with kerosene lanterns and I’m not real fond of that lingering odor, so we just set them outside and used torches to see. Overall I would definitely recommend a stay here if you want to see Rhino.

Rustic lodge in natural setting
Such a peaceful setting. We can hear the lions at night. The staff were cery friendly and accommodating. No electricity, so they came and lit out lanterns as we were out on a game drive.

Great stay, except for addititional costs.
Room clean and equipped with everything needed. We were very unsatisfied to find out on arrival that we have to pay E110 gate fee. Not on Hotels.com or on Hlane's website was this mentioned. The cost of the game drives (E370 per person) is very expensive for what is included. In an mail received from Hlane, they said the cost was E345 per person but we had to pay E370.

Amazing Experience In Swaziland
Hlane Royal National Park was an incredible experience. You can hear the lions at night or enjoy a drink while watching the rhinos, elephants and antilopes around the water hole in front of the restaurant. I highly recommand this place.

The Swazi experience
This was a down to earth, rural Swazi experience. The huts are quite modern and comfortable and yet no electricity. The kerosene lanterns add a nostalgic ambience. The dinner was nice yet it did not agree with my tummy. The reserve is more of a open air zoo with different animals in each enclosure. You can self drive except for the lions which you can hear from your hut. You do see quite a variety of animals in their native habitat at close range. It was an experience to remember.

Perfect back to nature hut
Fantastic accommodation beside a waterhole with hippos and many wildlife. Stunning room with mosquito netted canopy bed very comfortable fully equipped kitchen with fridge running on gas. No electricity but kerosine lanterns are supplied staff even came and lit ours while we were out watching the wildlife. Rooms also have BBQ and outdoor seating are. Restaurant on site with reasonably priced food. So close to the wildlife could not fault the location. Loved our stay

Nice but hot!
Room is beautiful. Bathroom very small and dark. Kitchen is fine. It's hot - and there is no fan or air as no electricity. The propane fridge creates more heat in room!

Bhubesi Camp og åbning af porte...
Vi havde glædet os meget til 3 dages ophold i Hlane royal national park - men blev ret så skuffede, da vi fandt ud af, at vores hytte lå 30 minutters kørsel fra restauranten og vi kunne ikke spise aftensmad der pga lukning af porten til Bhubesi camp kl. 18 - faktisk noget inden solen gik ned. At man ikke koordinerer åbning og lukning af porte således, at vi kunne nå at komme med på morgen og aftensafari var vildt skuffende! Derfor forlod vi Campen før tid, da vi følte os som lukket inde i Bhubesi Camp - uden mulighed for den bedste safari og uden mulighed for at nyde vores ferie i restauranten. Vi bestilte to gange lidt i restauranten midt på dagen og begge gange tog det en evighed at lave en toast... (40 minutter!) Derved måtte vi hugge maden i os for at nå at komme tilbage til Bhubesi, inden porten skulle lukkes. Så alt i alt - vi fik kun en guidet safari i parken - og den var rigtig god! - men det var skønne spildte kræfter at køre dertil. Der må tænkes mere på gæsternes behov.

Excellent accommondation
Excellent accommondation in Hlane National Park. Waterhole in front of the restaurant, where we could follow hippos, elefants, waterbucks and impalas. No electricity in chalets, lights with old fashioned oil lamps - cozy! In rainy weather the roads get muddy.

Die Unterkunft im Hlane war gut. Die mittelmäßige Bewertung bezieht sich ehr auf dem Weg dort hin. Der Hlane National Caravon Park hat zwei Camps, das war uns bei der Buchung nicht so klar. Es gibt das Ndlovu Hauptcamp, in diesem sind die Hütten, einfach ausgestattet und ohne Strom - wir hatten uns irgendwie auf dieses Erlebnis gefreut. Im Camp gibt es ein Restaurant, in dem es sehr leckeres Essen zum fairen Preis gibt. Man hat den Blick auf ein Wasserloch, an dem sich im Laufe eines Tages etliche Nashörner tummeln. Ein wahrer Genuß dem einfach zuzuschauen. Wir waren allerdings im Simunye Camp untergebracht. Dieses Camp ist im Hlane National Park, allerdings 12 km außerhalb. Meine schlechte Bewertung bezieht sich auf den Weg dort hin. Die Strecke ist selbst mit einem 4 Radantrieb schlecht zu fahren. Wir benötigten für die Strecke 40 Minuten!. Und diese Strecke mussten wir immer fahren um irgendwie in die Zivilisation zu kommen. In dem Camp Simunye selbst gibt es 6 Häuser - sonst nichts. Wer die absolute Ruhe fern ab von jeglicher Zivilisation sucht ist dort richtig. Es gibt eine Küche, ein Wohnzimmer, 2 Bäder, 2 Schlafzimmer mit guten Betten. Die Wohnung war sauber, zweckmäßig eingerichtet, es gab Strom. Also echt okay. Aber für uns zu weit entfernt von allem, zumal wir nicht wußten (oder es überlesen haben?) das es dort ein zweites Camp gibt.

Camp et parc impeccables
Très belle découverte. Les animaux à voir dans le parc sont intéressants et le point d’eau devant les habitations est une bonne occasion d’observer les rhino de près. Mais c’est surtout le camp lui même qui est génial. Le restaurant est parfait. Les rondavels sont super bien équipés avec un éclairage à la lanterne, une literie au top. Très dépaysant et agréable découverte

Attenzione la struttura non si chiama in questo modo. Per trovare la struttura bisogna entrare nel Parco. Sulla strada c'è il cartello d'entrata del Parco con il leone (simbolo), poi chiedere all'entrata le indicazioni. La struttura è immersa nella natura, si possono scorgere gli animali comodamente seduti sulle sdraio. Il Parco non è nulla di eccezionale, se si vuole fare una visita con la propria auto (anche solo due ruote matrici) si può percorre una sola strada. La vegetazione è molto alta, quindi è veramente difficile scorgere animali. Non c'è elettricità nella struttura, la sera è illuminata da lampade a petrolio che lasciano nell'aria un odore molto sgradevole anche se l'atmosfera è incantevole.

Schöner Ort mitten in der Natur.
Wir waren in einem Cottage ohne Strom, aber mit Küchenzeile und Kühlschrank. Wer sich darauf einlässt, dass es abends nur Licht von 3 Petroleumlampen gibt, kann hier sehr schön und idyllisch im Nationalpark schlafen. Nachts hört man die Tiere und man ist nur wenige Schritte vom Wasserloch einfernt. Das Essen war sehr gut und das Personal war freundlich. WLAN gibt es gegen kleinen Aufpreis im Rezeptionsbereich. Noch ein paar Tips: Der Weg vom Restaurant zum Zimmer ist abends stockfinster. Man braucht eine Taschen- oder Stirnlampe. Auch im Zimmer ist es z. Bsp. zum Lesen zu dunkel. Man sollte besser eine kleine LED-Lampe o.ä. dabeihaben. Bei Anreise mit Mietwagen von Süden sollte man unbedingt die MR16 vermeiden, das sie über ca. 30 km von Schlaglöchern durchlöchert ist wie ein Schweizer Käse. Lieber einen Umweg fahren. Sonst waren aber alle Straßen in gutem Zustand.
