Amazing experience - The tour was amazing, we saw many animals at umfolozi. Heritage tours made our birthday celebration really special. The chocolate cake was to die for, how could I forget that pasta salad Our tour guide Mr Jabu was very knowledgeable. We will be coming back soon for the night tour

Definitely worthwhile excursion - Despite rainy weather, a great day. Our Gide took a lot of time and was trying to track down the animals. He also gave us enough time to watch them and knew a lot to tell. He was very careful on the road and cooked us fine.

PERFECT safari! - Thank you Heritage, Mandy and Jabu for arranging the perfect safari to treat my sister with true South African hospitality and authenticity. We loved every minute. Jabu is just an amazing guide! From the fist sighting, which was a cheetah, until we left after enjoying a perfect lunch! Five starts you deserve! Lots of love. Marie

Great tour - Could not have asked for a better tour guide that Jabu. Not only was he funny, but also knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was lovely and the braai at lunch time was lekker. Despite the heat, we managed to see 3 of the Big 5 which we were really happy about. This is a beautiful park and we could not thank Jabu and Herotage Toyrs enough

A memorable adventure - We recently hired heritage tours for two safaris in St. Lucia & Hluhlue from our cruise ship. From beginning to end the experience was exceptional. Every person from Heritage that we came in contact with was professional, helpful and genuinely seemed to want to make the most of our safari experience. They worked with me to customize an itinerary and made sure that we were picked up from the ship and returned on time. The pricing was far better than a shore excursion and on our full day safari, we were guaranteed window seats (no one would sit in the middle – I have a cumbersome camera and wanted to make sure I had space to move). While both guides were very good, the guide on our full-day safari was truly outstanding and made our experience! Arno was engaging, entertaining and incredibly informative. He took time to point out small things (birds/dung beetles/porcupine quills) in addition to pointing out when a group of giraffes was paying attention to Impala warning calls, spotting things in the distance that were only corroborated with binoculars, and sitting on the road while a herd of elephants walked past our vehicle at a distance of less than 1metre. It was a magnificent day and felt like a true adventure, not just a drive through a park. An adventure I would gladly recommend to anyone and everyone and a company I would also gladly recommend. If anyone is considering a self-drive option, I would highly recommend against it – we would not have seen a fraction of what we did if it hadn’t been for Arno’s incredible eyes and knowledge. It was truly a day to cherish and remember. Thank you Heritage Tours

Very nice safari - We booked a safari and were picked up directly from the ship. The safari was very interesting and we had beautiful wildlife observations, including cheetahs, elephants, etc. The guide will tell you about the surroundings, trees and animals during the trip. The breakfast and the freshly grilled food including side dishes and dessert in the afternoon were very good for us more than sufficient. Definitely to recommend.
