Feeling at home - Our experience was wonderful. From the convenience of being picked up in Durban to the most thoughtful details, like having gluten-free sweets for me. The guides were fantastic, especially Phindy and Terry: they know the terrain and its “inhabitants” incredibly well; they spot them and help you find them, and they share interesting facts about them, as well as their own anecdotes. Plus, while you’re having dinner, the occasional hippo decides to take a stroll through town, and you can watch them wander around as if they own the place. You can tell they’re like a family, and they make you feel like part of it. We stayed for three nights and really felt like we belonged. I would have happily stayed there to live without a second thought.

St Lucia Estuary experience - Heynie our Skipper with Shoreline gave a very informative trip up the estuary today.. His amazing knowledge of spotting the bird life, hippo and crocodile was out of this world ending with a lovely sunset. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon

Wonderful safari experience! - We had a wonderful safari experience here. Well organized tours and excellent rangers. All the Parks are breathtaking! We saw the big 5!! The leopard was missing on our bucket list but we did see it here at Isimangaliso/Cape vidal game park. Thanks to ranger Sifiso Nzuza! The small charming town of St Lucia also has some nice restaurants and even unusal visitors in the evening: hippo's walking in the streets looking for the nice short grass patches. We very much enjoyed every minute here and hope to return next year 🙏👍

A 3 day once in a lifetime experience between volunteering at animal sanctuaries in South Africa.. - Absolutely fantastic including pick up fm Westbrook and drop off to Durban Airport.. The accommodation, tours and safaris were absolutely wonderful and much more than I expected from my first trip and tours in South Africa.. from booking from Australia to confirmation of pick up etc it was seamless and Bev the Manageress and her team, made my experience as a solo traveller (older female) one of the most comfortable and safe visits I could have hoped for. The guides were great and the animals and natural wonders I saw and experienced were incredible, especially with the history and details provided by the guides. I would totally recommend this trip, particularly if you have limited time. A wonderful experience on all levels. One of the hightlights was seeing the Hippos walking the streets to get to the park for a feed 2 out of 3 nights :) Thanks again Sue White (Australia)

The best Saint Lucia agency in South Africa - We stayed several nights in a hotel run by Heritage Tours & Safaris, and it was just perfect! The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The accommodation is ideally located, close to the main street of Saint Lucia, with all the shops at hand: bars, restaurants, supermarkets, petrol stations... everything you need to be quiet. But the real plus is the activities offered by the agency. We made several excursions and everything was amazing! The safaris were really impressive: cheetahs, elephants in flocks, rhinos, lions, buffaloes... unforgettable encounters. I recommend 100% Heritage Tours & Safaris! Their packages combining hotel + excursions are super convenient and offered at very attractive rates. If you want to enjoy Saint Lucia to the fullest, this is the agency to choose because they offer absolutely all the excursions and activities.

Superb tour operators that I'll personally recommend to everyone - 100% recommend booking via Heritage tours. Accommodation is super comfy and the staff are tremendously kind and welcoming. The tours are just... INCREDIBLE! Sunset, night, Hluhluwe, Isimangaliso, Cape Vidal, Hippo and croc...do them all - you will not regret a single one. Memories made forever. I genuinely cried when we had to leave. I will be back. That's a promise!

Great experience - I stayed for 5 nights at Heritage House and went on safaris twice to Umfolosi and twice to Isimangaliso and Cape Vidal plus the hippo cruise twice. The arrangements for the safaris were very clear and the drivers were always on time to pick me up and return me to the house. Siyabonga, Jabu and Arno all knew their stuff and were very helpful. On a safari trip like these, you don't spend a long time watching the animals as there is always a pressure to try to fit in as much as possible. So don't expect to spend say half an hour looking at elephants or cheetah because there could easily be lions or giraffe, zebras, etc just down the road. I had some great sightings but unfortunately the weather was against us throughout my stay with a lot of rain. Room 5 at Heritage House is very comfortable and I would recommend it. The house is very close to the high street and so it's very easy to walk down to get dinner or lunch each day. Unfortunately I did not see any hippos roaming the streets at night I'd particularly like to thank Bev who set up the whole tour for me and also insisted that I should take a day off from the 04:30 a.m. alarms needed in order to get up and out onto the safaris each day. My only tip is that I wish I'd known that the drive from St. Lucia to Umfolosi is an hour each way and you need to be prepared for that bumpy journey.

Buyer Beware: Exposed to toxic black mold and the company did not even offer an apology - I am a south African born US based Professor who was excited to return to my birthplace. Unfortunately the accommodations at Heritage House violated safety standards and they placed me in a room replete with black mold: on the ceilings, in the walls and threaded into the wet mattress. I absolutely do not recommend this company for that reason. This experience led to acute respiratory distress and plummeting blood pressures. I had to delay my flight to the US by a week and discard of half of my wardrobe due to the toxic mold spores. I still have not recovered several weeks later. A manager at the company confirmed the presence of mold and articulated that the owner was supposed to have taken care of the problem. When I approached the owners of the company--Quentin and Mandy Muir-- who no longer live locally: they deflected responsibility onto me as well as onto their staff. They then proceeded to tell me that they would conduct a serious investigation. Finally they referred me onto their legal team and insurance broker. They clearly do not care about their customers' well being. I would avoid at all costs!
