Perfectly arranged - A perfectly arranged day with a very friendly, attentive Guide (Sakili) who had a lot of knowledge about the local flora and fauna and history. He talked about this with great passion. Lunch was well catered for. We have spotted several large and small animals. Sakili went to great lengths to get as close to the animals as possible. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience - We actually did the big 5 half day tour with Lindo and the wetland tour with Kyle! We also did the late afternoon hippo and crocodile boat cruise. What an amazing experience all tours were. We saw so many animals lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, warthogs, various types of antelope, hippos, crocs, various birds/eagles. Just so much. All the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and I don’t think I’ll ever forget these amazing experiences that we had. Hopefully we will be back next year to stay longer as there is so much more for us to see and do in this area and more tours! I would highly recommend the tours and our wonderful tour guides, I’m so jealous of their jobs!

Amazing trip through beautiful iSimangaliso - We did this day trip as part of a 3 night / 4 day package with Heritage tours. May is a great time to visit as it’s relatively quiet. As a result we were lucky enough to have the whole truck and Theo the guide to ourselves, which was fantastic. Theo appears to know everything about KZN, its history, culture and of course the natural environment. ISimangaliso is an incredible wetlands park that is being re-wilded. It is beautiful! We drove through it to get to Cape Vidal where we swam in the ocean and snorkelled and had a delicious lunch prepared and cooked by Theo. On the way we saw Nyala, impala, crocodiles, water buffalo, wart hogs, rhino, hippos, tortoise, dozens of birds (all of which Theo could tell us about). Theo could not have been a more attentive guide. My younger daughter did not want to visit the beach so she stayed with Theo while he prepared lunch and he told her all about Zulu culture and even gave her a language lesson. She loved it. Huge thanks to Theo and the Heritage team. A truly memorable day and one of the highlights of our trip.

Fantastic day! Extremely enjoyable. - We had an amazing day, Keo (sorry if I've not spelt this correctly!) He was very knowledgeable and managed to be in the right place at the right time so often. We saw so much and really enjoyed ourselves! We had a fantastic lunch and a nice couple of hours on the beach (unfortunately the waves were a little too much to snorkel on this day, but we did have a swim and saw fish around us. The beach is amazing. Thankyou so much for a fantastic time!

Great ride with Kyle! - We had a lovely trip guided by a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, Kyle. We saw a variety of bucks and birds, buffalos, monkeys, wart hogs, hippos, a crocodile and 4 rhinos passed right next to our vehicle. It's also a first to have some time on the beach while on a game drive. Lovely food and lovely company. It was a great experience.
