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.

Amazing as always! - Second tour with Heritage and it was once again an experience to remember. Bev is always so friendly and even helped adjust the package to accommodate our needs. Staying at Heritage house was so lush. Bonita and the staff were so welcoming and made the best breakfast! We did the night drive with Sakhile and his ability to spot animals in the dark is just amazing! We didn’t miss a single thing, from large hyenas to the tiniest baby chameleons. Next came the full day with Jabu and this man went above and beyond to find the cheetah that we wanted to see and to our surprise, she had a tiny little cub! Looking forward to our next trip with Heritage!

Wonderful experience in Hluluwe and Isimangaliso - Heritage Tours were excellent. Bev was very helpful with the booking. The safari guides were very knowledgeable, professional and fun. Sifiso took us to Hluluwe for the day and we had an amazing time. We saw so many animals, we learnt so much. He cooked one of the best steaks I had in Sth Africa as well. Isimangaliso and St lucia was also beautiful. Very unique environment.

Go with Heritage Tours! - I highly recommend Heritage Tours if you are a solo traveler. I found that many safari companies have a 2 person minimum but Heritage had no hesitation in accommodating me and made my safari holiday happen! They even organized pick up from Durban and drop off at Richards Bay and I felt safe throughout and communication with the office was excellent. The safari guides are excellent and all 3 guides made a point to stop numerous times again and again even if we had seen the same species of animal previously. When I left my Heritage tour, I stayed one night at another game park and paid quite a lot but the guide rushed through the animals once we had seen the first of its kind and didn't allow me to soak in the experience. With Heritage Tours, you get an excellent experience and value for money! I would do it all over again! They truly made my experience memorable in the best way.

3 Wonderful days at St Lucia, South Africa - Just enjoyed a fantastic 3 day trip to St Lucia. Excellent safari tour's were provided by Heritage Tours. We stayed at Heritage House, where we were warmly greeted by Bonita, who was always caring and helpful. All safari 's including our boat cruise were fantastic. We were lucky enough to have very good sightings of 4 of the big 5, lions were a particular highlight. But also, many other animals, bird species, insects, flora and fauna. All of which, we were given informative insights about from all of our guides, who all had a wealth of knowledge. On our last day, we were taken to Cape Vidal, where we went snorkeling, in the rock pools of the Indian Ocean. Where, we were able to add some fish species, to our list of sightings. They even provided the snorkels and goggles. This just rounded of our trip , perfectly. Thanks to all, for a wonderful trip. Kind Regards Graeme, Brenda and David Butler

Great guide, great experience - We did the 3 night safari package, with accommodation at the company guesthouse and it was awesome! The guesthouse was very cozy, clean and perfectly kept. All the guides were great, but I would like to specially mention Kyle, who guided us into Cape Vidal and Wetland Park drive. He is kind of crazy, but in a good way: he is crazy about his job and has a truly deep relationship with nature and animals that shares with his guests. He goes out of the box and knows how to do it, so I hope we will have a long and prosperous career.

Breathtaking - A very nice experience, to make and to redo! The Yamkela guide is amazing! And Mandla, for the transfer, was also great! The B&B was comfortable, with a very good bed!
