Great experience! Thx to Sifiso! - We had an amazing day, everything was well organised and taken care of. We saw a lot of animals and thanks to Sifiso, our guide who is very knowledgeable and experienced, it was even more special. The coffeestop at Cape Vidal was very nice , also was the lunch between the animals in their habitat. Also thanks to Helen who informed us on whatsapp. Sifiso, we owned the leopard, many special thanks for the great day!

iSimangaliso- place of great beauty and wonder! - Another great repeat trip to iSimangaliso Wetland Park (first was in 2025). What a joy to travel in this Wetland park with an experienced guide, Yamkele, who shared his knowledge with great enthusiasm, even on the small things, plants, insects, the little birds (LBJs). It was simply lovely to again experience the tranquility, the smells and the sounds in this beautiful place. Thank you, Siyabonga.

Must do iSimangaliso Wetland Park tour with Heritage Tours - The second tour I did with Heritage Tours was to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park full day tour. I was happy to have Jabu again as my tour guide and this time I was the only one on the tour. I personally enjoyed this park much mire than the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. The landscape was flatter and you saw more flowers and birds here. The communication with Helen of Heritage Tours before arriving to St.Lucia was excellent. She started texting me while still in the Netherlands and also while in South Africa which was appreciated. I would definitely book with them again next time.

Great Safari Experience! - We had an incredible safari tour with Terrence! He was accommodating, knowledgeable, and absolutely hilarious — a little mischievous, just like the monkeys we saw. He made the experience feel personal, stopping whenever we wanted and pointing out small details we never would’ve noticed on our own. We saw so much wildlife and wrapped up the day with a planned stop at the beach, which was beautifully pristine and peaceful. Overall, Terrence made the entire experience unforgettable. Highly recommend booking with him!

Go hear the hippos! Heheh! - We toured with Thobile to see the hippos in iSimongoliso Wetlands. What a fun tour. Thobile was full of stories and interesting facts about the hippos. We had plenty of time to focus on one animal which gave nice depth to the visit. Hippos are great creatures and well worth learning about. Itwas a great day!

Awesome safari tour in iSimangaliso Park with the best tour guide Arno! - We were an ideal group of seven people with us and the brilliant guide Arno on the way. Arno immediately explained to us the beauties of nature and all its animals in his motivated way and answered all questions. No animal escaped his attentive gaze - even the dung beetle on the road, which rolled a big dung ball backwards, the little crocodile and all the bigger and big animals he showed us and stopped in each case to observe and photograph these beautiful and exciting animals. We got exciting information about the area. The stops were planned at good intervals. At Cap Vidal we could go snorkeling with him in the Indian Ocean. The day passed rapidly. The wildlife, nature, Arno with his humor - he can imitate virtually any animal - and his immense knowledge were simply awesome. We will come back and if it goes again with HERTAGE TOURS SAFARIS and if possible again with Arno. Thank you.

Best place best service best people I love it ❤️ - I booked my tour with Helen, she's an angel the booking was fast and smooth. Our tour guide was Terry, we had a great time with him, he's very knowledgeable about wildlife, he taught us alot. The moment that took the cup for me was when Terry set for us to have our picnic lunch overlooking the lake Catalina, that was an experience of a lifetime, Shout-out to Terry. Heritage tours is the best. See you soon.

Wonderful day tour in iSimangaliso with knowledgeable guide Terry - We joined Heritage Tours on a Full Day Safari in iSimangaliso and we enjoyed it very much. Our Guide Terrance was perfect, he grew up in St Lucia and now works as a guide in the area. He knew everything and we loved to learn from him. Had multiple sightings of amazing animals. The blankets where a game changer and is a plus. Food was delicious as well. We really can recommend to go with Heritage Tours and hope you get Terry as a guide ;-)
