Ilala Palm Park is a caravan park and camping site situated on a generously sized 35-hectare property, located more or less 6 km along Jozini Road, West of Mbazwana – meaning “small axe” in Zulu.

The property consists mainly of grassland and sand forest, making it ideally suited to hundreds of bird species (including ground birds, water fowl and guest appearances by migratory species) with its mild winter climate and close proximity to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.

Each of the six campsites have their own private ablutions, scullery, 220 V electricity point, braai and hot water wash-up facility. The grassy campsites vary in size and most have sufficient shade. Relax in the swimming pool when the birds have their siesta or just splash off the summer heat.

Ilala Palm Park is in the heart of adventure territory within a close proximity to excellent dive spots (Sodwana) and both freshwater fishing – including tiger fish at Jozini Dam – and salt water fishing – estuary, surf and deep sea at renown locations such as Kosi Bay, St. Lucia Estuary, Cape Vidal and Mapelane. The park is also located close to various wildlife reserves (including ‘Big 5’!).

Come and visit this hidden jewel in Northern Zululand and enjoy our hospitality!

A highlight of the Eastern Cape, Addo Elephant National Park offers some of the best elephant viewing in the world.

Addo Elephant National Park was formed in 1931 to protect the remaining eleven Addo elephants after nearly being wiped out from hunting and war. Today the Addo Elephant National Park is the 3rd biggest park in South Africa, protecting a wide range of fauna and flora through park expansion. The elephant population thrives today due to the effective conservation effort by SAN Parks. It’s well worth visiting, so put this high on your list of must-see places to visit.
