The Umfolozi River is located in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. It flows through the Umfolozi Game Reserve, which is known for its diverse wildlife and scenic landscapes. The river is approximately 150 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem. The Umfolozi River eventually merges with the Hluhluwe River to form the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park, a protected area that is home to various species, including the white rhino. The river's waters support both flora and fauna, making it an essential resource for the region's biodiversity.
