Hluhluwe (locally /ʃluːˈʃluːweɪ/shloo-SHLOO-way;[2]Zulu pronunciation:[ɬuɬuw'e]) is a small town in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is situated between iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park on the banks of the Hluhluwe River. Hluhluwe is situated on the elephant coast, an area known for its national parks, natural diversity and cultural heritage. Although relatively undeveloped[3][4] the area is of growing interest to international tourists and travelers. Several local and international movies have been filmed in Hluhluwe, such as I Dreamed of Africa,[5]Ghost Son,[6] and documentaries filmed in the surrounding national parks.
Timber, sugar, and pineapples are intensively grown in the area, which produces over 95% of South Africa's queen pineapples. Other agricultural crops are sugar-cane, sisal, cotton, tomatoes, and chilies. Due to traditional settlement patterns and customs, activity is still low in some areas.[7]
Hluhluwe is considered the hub of tourism in KwaZulu-Natal with accommodations ranging from budget facilities to five-star game lodges. Hluhluwe is a service centre to the surrounding area. The town is named after the thorny rope climber Dalbergia armata (umHluhluwe in Zulu), which is found among the forest vegetation types in Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park.
