Imfolozi Game Reserve and neighboring Hluhluwe Game Reserve are operated by KZN Wildlife, and are roughly like state parks of KwaZulu Natal Province. They're commonly referred to as Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Game Reserve. It has been a good place for me to photograph the very interesting Hamerkop, or literally "hammer head" bird. This one just caught a small fish and is flipping it into its mouth.
