Shoreline - Great Hippo experience - The guide was very helpful and gave a lot of information. We saw a lot of Hippos and bird life. The tour is about 2 hours long and the teens loved it.

Fantastic trip - hippos, crocs and sunset 🙌 - We really enjoyed this trip. Mdu was an excellent guide and told us a lot about the hippos, crocodiles and other wildlife that we saw along the way. He is clearly very passionate about KZN’s natural environment and its history and culture. He helped make sure we got some amazing photos of the spectacular sunset with hippos in the foreground that will ensure we remember this trip forever. My daughters (18 & 22) absolutely loved it.

Perfect tranquility in the wild - We were a group of family and friends onboard the Shoreline hippo & croc tour, and it was perfect. Skipper Heinie was very knowledgable of the area and didnt mind taking many questions as we cruised the estuary. Visiting friends from abroad loved the experience and never expected to see the hippos & crocs in such abundance. Peaceful & tranquil boat cruise this was. I highly recommend it! Well done Shoreline crew to a beautiful and memorable experience. Thank you and see you soon again.

Up close and wild but in brilliant hands. - This was an amazing family adventure that was really well guided by Mou our excellent guide and driver. The boat was small but perfect for seeing Hippos and Crocs up close. We had a great experience over the two hour session and learnt a lot about these amazing animals. Would highly recommend.

Wild cruise - Estuary cruise in search of the deadliest animals in Africa, the Hippos!!! We left on a low and wide barge, with enough capacity for more people, and we did not go to full occupancy, so we could move at will (with the boat stationary) and enjoy different points of view. The journey is back and forth, to where the hippos are resting, between the water and the shore, but along the way you see several species of animals such as monitor lizard, fishermen martins, snake birds... a very pleasant walk enjoying the sunset. In addition the guides were explaining everything about the species, their behavior and particularities, and we could see a hunt for catfish, which chased small shrimp, a show!
