Today (day 5 of our virtual tour) we visit Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, is the oldest proclaimed nature reserve in Africa. It consists of 960 km² (96,000 ha) of hilly topography, is known for its rich wildlife and conservation efforts.
The Umfolozi and Hluhluwe reserves were established primarily to protect the white rhinoceros, then on the endangered species list. The area has always been a haven for animals as tsetse flies carrying the nagana disease are common, which protected the area from hunters in the colonial era.
Beautiful park.
Für meine deutschen Gäste:
Heute (Tag 5) besuchen wir den Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, das älteste proklamierte Naturschutzgebiet in Afrika. Es besteht aus 960 km² (96.000 ha) hügeliger Topographie und ist bekannt für seine reichen Tier- und Naturschutzbemühungen.
Die Reservate Umfolozi und Hluhluwe wurden hauptsächlich zum Schutz des weißen Nashorns eingerichtet, das damals auf der Liste der gefährdeten Arten stand. Das Gebiet war schon immer ein Paradies für Tiere, da Tsetsefliegen mit der Nagana-Krankheit häufig sind, was das Gebiet in der Kolonialzeit vor Jägern schützte.
Schöner Park.
