A day to remember with Heritage Safaris - Highly recommended, easy to book, prompt responses and courteous reminders. Fred our guide made the day so special, what he doesn’t know about animals and fauna and flora isn’t worth knowing and also an excellent chef where a good steak is involved. Everything of the highest standard. Well done Heritage Safaris.

Amazing tour in hluhluwe !!! - We both really enjoyed the safari especially the delicious braai our guide Yumgala prepared for us. The tour was well organized, and we were able to see a lot of zebras, giraffes, buffalos, birds, elephants, impalas etc. They messaged us on WhatsApp so we could community easily and they prepared blanket and drinks for us too. Highly recommend!!!

A lovely day spend in and with nature - Theo, our guide, was the best - he really not only went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience, I also found him extremely knowledgeable with a clear love and passion for nature. Combine it with a friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic personality and you have an awesome guide. I really loved that he also pointed out the 'little things' and drew our attention to the bird life - there is SO much more to a park then the Big5! Careful and competent driver on washed out park roads and with good knowledge of the local roads, which saved us from being stuck an hour or two at a road block.

Great day in the safari - I booked this tour during our stop in Richard's bay. We got picked up from the port and taken to the game reserve. Our guides were very friendly and informative. We saw elephants, giraffes and rhinos, unfortunately we didn't spot a lion but it all depends, you might get lucky. Overall a good way to spend a day in nature

A brilliant day - We did a cruise ship excursion and so glad we did, it was a real highlight for our whole holiday. We were picked up and whisked to the park to start our tour. Stop for a delicious breakfast with pasties and yogurt. Then a 3hr drive spotting everything we can. We missed lions sadly. The guides were excellent

Beautiful Scenery - So Many Wildlife Sightings! - The park is so vast and the scenery is breathtaking. There were only 4 on our tour and our guide was Theo. He did a great job finding many animals including rhinos, giraffes, elephants, zebra, impala, and warthogs. Lunch was a delicious braai of steak and sausages grilled by Theo himself and accompanied by local salads and a homemade dessert. A great day! Highly recommended!

Unforgettable day with animals - The full-day tour was a super great experience, a real asset. Everything was perfectly organized. Arno our guide is a super spotter and left no question unanswered and always had a story to tell regarding the many animals sighted. We've seen a lot of animals. There was super healthy breakfast and great grilled lunch and especially to mention it was gluten free for me. 👍👍👍 An unforgettable day. This trip is highly recommended.
