Mpila Camp
Hluhluwe iMfolozi Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaRead about our visit to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park
Mpila Camp is centrally situated in the uMfolozi section of the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park, KwaZulu-Natal and commands views of the Wilderness area. The accommodation at Mpila Camp is all self catering only and all accommodation units have bed linen, bath towels, cutlery, crockery and kitchen utensils provided. Unleaded petrol is normally available during the day (check their reserves early if you are low on fuel, as supply can be unreliable) curios, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks can be purchased from the Mpila Camp shop, but general provisions are limited. There is no restaurant at Mpila. The electrical 220 V supply is from a generator. This for the fans, lights and fridge whilst hot water shower and stove use gas. The generator is turned off at around 22h00.
The water at Mpila Camp is temporarily not fit for drinking. Please bring your own drinking water.
We are only a booking service to secure accommodation at a number of the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife park accommodation venues. We are in no way responsible for the condition of the facilities, which due to severe budgetry cuts from our Provincial Government, has resulted in a lack of general maintenance over the years, with many of the accommodation facilities severely jeopardised and in need of urgent repair or closure.
The Park authorities are well aware of this inability to carry out basic necessary maintenance and are endevouring to source the necessary funds which to date have not become available. Far and Wild Safaris has no control over the allocation of units and their condition. Should you choose to visit these venues and subsequently find fault with the accommodation and or service, we are only able to forward your comments to the Park authorities. There is no compensation for this status quo should it not meet your expectation. Please contact ourselves should you require further clarification.
