Super night safari - We had the best experience, the guide who was quite new at Heritage did an amazing job. We saw a lot of animals with as absulute highlight a leopard sighting, this leopard liked to be in the spotlight. Would do it again when we are in Santa Lucia. Highly recommend.

Shakule is the Best Guide - SPECTACULAR. Shakule Dube is the Best Guide You Can Have. After picking us up he offered us a small talk about the Zulu culture and the different clicks that have incorporated into the language tribes like the Xhosa, so the beginning is very interesting on an anthropological level, remarking that this time is not subtracted from the safari itself, since once you enter the national park Shakule dedicated to delight us discovering all kinds of animals, we saw even potamoquero and several chameleons that (WE DO NOT KNOW HOW) could see several dozens of meters. A beastly experience that culminated with sightings of leopards and hippo already in the same city of St Lucia.

Amazing adventure! - We had more or less one goal: spotting the elusive leopard. We had gone through several national parks and had managed to spot every animal in the big five other than the leopard, and certainly not for a lack of trying. Once we stepped into the vehicle, it soon became clear to us everyone else was also very enthusiastically hoping for a leopard. It was a very eventful ride that ended up being quite the adventure. And at the end of that adventure, we saw something lying beside the road. It was a leopard and as we approached it, it got up and walked besides our vehicle for eight solid minutes. The vehicle was filled with kind and enthoustic people, including our terrific guide Siyabonga, who was very kind, helpful and informative. We would definitely recommend Heritage’s Night Drive to anyone interested. We certainly got an amazing adventure to talk about back home.

Siyabonga, Siya! Leopard king! - We were very blessed with our experience. Heritage tours was so kind to move our drive to Saturday night drom Friday night as we had some delayed travel time and did not make it in time for our night drive. We finally did it and went on our night drive with SIYABONGA Gumede! What a lovely guide! All the requests on the vehicle was for a LEOPARD and Siya did not disappoint . We are 100% coming back for a night drive safari!!!

The best so far - The best tour organizers , I have ever come across so far Absolute professional and above and all i had my tour delayed for an hour for some reason and they went all the way ahead and refunded the entire amount and arranged a different vehicle and a guide. Thats highly impressive. Coming to their guide we had guide named Shakile Dube and that man is just Amazing the voice, the knowledge and the wisdom he carries and shares with the tourists is absolutely commandable and he should be a ambassador for all the guides around the world going above and beyond in sharing knowledge about cukture, language, wildlife and anaimal behavior. Just ask anyone in Ismangaliso for him and they have something to say about him. And absolute delightful Experience with Heritage tours and safari.

Isimangaliso game drive - Excellent game drive. Siya was absolutely amazing. Great knowledge. Booking from start to finish was excellent. As a South African and been visiting the area over the years there was no need to do a game drive but wanted to do it for my son to also experience it. It was a great experience especially the hyena as I've never seen one in the wild. Thank you so much. Great experience.

A wonderful day - A wonderful Safari, we weren’t lucky to meet the felines but saw beautiful rhinos, elephants and giraffes, and our guide never let down his optimism until the end of the ride. There are blankets on board, which prove really useful as it is windy in the vehicle as we drive. The breakfast provided is delicious, and I was really impressed with them being able to provide a great vegan option for breakfast, and even vegan burgers for lunch so that I didn’t miss out on the braï ! A beautiful trip for sure, incredible value for your money !

The chance of experiencing the bush, the lake and the bush within the same package was marvelous.. - We had an amazing experience, the accommodation was good, the breakfast excellent. The safari tours were well planned, and we saw a pack of wild dogs and lions in one day, that was above my expectations. Nele Jiyane was very helpful during the bookings, and she shared all the requirement information, and she made our stay as easy as possible.

Western shores... turned East - Was sold as a Western shores tour for Elephants and Giraffes sightings, and we actually were taken to the Eastern shores where we had just spent the day, and where wildlife is rarer and less varied (specifically no giraffes and elephants on this side....). So rather disappointing experience, although the guide was a nice guy.
