Great experience - Fantastic! They picked us up at our Guest House at the agreed time. Then drove us to the Reserve where we met our guide/driver in the park. The tour was excellent with many animal sightings, many close up. The scenery was spectacular so always something to look at. There was a breakfast stop and again for lunch. At the end of the day we were returned home by our transfer driver. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also very knowledgeable and informative. I would definitely do this tour again.

What a day! - We had a day trip from the Richard’s Bay port to the Hluhluwe Umfolozi reserve. We had a fantastic day, our guide was called Kyle, he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals, it was lovely to experience his enthusiasm. He tried really hard to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We saw lots of animals, my two favourites were the herd of elephants and the female giraffe with her calf, both took my breath away! We had breakfast and lunch included with the trip, both were very good and served hygienically. We had return transfers included from the port to the reserve in a very comfortable mini bus then we transferred to a safari jeep with only 4 people in it. The admin person Nele, was also helpful with her answers to my questions. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this company, and if you’re really lucky you’ll have Kyle as your guide.
