Birding whilst cruising. - My son and I had a wonderful cruise with Siyabonga as our guide. We were lucky to see so many hippos and croc, but we loved spotting the wonderful birds along the Estuary.

Jabu 10/10 - great tour - Jabu, our guide, was excellent - so knowledgeable, personable and extremely customer focused. Our trip was full of stops to point out various wildlife, get the best camera angles and to talk about their behavior. Great value too

Bravo Shakabarker - Small boat so not too crowded and no embarrassment for photos. Friendly guide answering all our questions and with humor! Small snack along the way. Booking easy. I really recommend this agency.

Best hippo getaway of St. Louis Lucia. - We were picked up in time by a safari truck. The Guide was cheerful, friendly and could tell a lot about the animals and surroundings of St. Louis. Lucia. Compared to the other boats/companies it is very small scale with small boats which makes it much more personal. Crocodiles, hippos and large bald eagles seen.

Average experience of wonderful natural area - The pick up late and so departure was late. Cold water on board on an extremely hot day rather than tea and coffee would have been appreciated by all.
