Great with Heritage tours, especially Phindy! - We have booked two excursions with Heritage. Seriousness and punctuality, the refrigerip they offer is appreciated, and the food on the all-day safari, excellent. Very good guides, Siya, and on the Full Day tour, highlight Phindy's work. Very Pro, with a joy and vitality that made the trip very enjoyable.

Unforgettable memories with Heritage Tours - We booked the 2 night safari package with Heritage Tours & Safaris. To say it was unforgettable doesn't begin to cover our experience here. We arrived in St Lucia and jumped on our 2 hour river cruise where we saw hippos, a soaring fish eagle, and a baby croc. The boat is so spacious and has a comfortable open deck where you have a 360 view of your surroundings. We stayed at Heritage House where we loved the king size, extra length bed, as well as the stocked snack bar and drinks. The hotel staff were warm and welcoming. The next day we did a full day safari in Hluhluwe, followed by another half day safari in Isimangaliso Wetland Park. I would like to highlight our most epic and wonderful part of the trip - this was our driver guide Yamkela or "Yam" as he was known to us. His knowledge and personality completely made the trip for us. He took us to incredible places within each park and found us our own private viewing of a bull elephant close up. Yamkela is a respectful and polite guide who will go the extra mile for his guests. He is able to connect with his guests and know what to focus on during the drives - we found this very important. Without him, our experiences would not have been nearly as exciting and full ! Thank you Yam!

Well worth it .. - Excellent experience. Nele was great in answering our questions etc, and Kyle was an amazing and awesome tour guide. Made us feel special and ensured we say all there was to see. My amazeball moment was seeing giraffes up close and personal. All in all - well spent money.

Fabulous Tours and Safari from Heritage - Absolutely outstanding. We did a Sunset Tour, The next day the big tour and then the boat cruise. We saw all the big 5 in one day. What a joy. Siya took us on the sunset tour. Such a nice man, helpful, knowledgeable and gave such good information. The next day we went on the full day and our tour guide was Phindy, she has unbelievable knowledge and ensured we saw as much as we can. We saw all of the big 5. She is funny, so clever and full on knowledge which she shares with such joy. Onto the river cruise. Crocodiles were hiding but we saw 2 small and an abundance of Hippos. Such a great experience all round. Bev in the office was the most helpful and kind lady and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Heritage for any tours or safaris you may want to see.

Great tour with great guides! - The tour was really great, we saw almost the whole big five except for the leopard but the leopard is kind of rare to see, so that was an extra. Instead of the leopard we did see a cheetah though! But overall a great tour, with a nice group, good breakfast and lunch and most importantly (next to the animals) a very good guide! Our tour guide was Phindy, she had a lot of information about the animals, but also about the tree, plants and the Zulu people! I would highly recommend to book with this tour!

Super well arranged safari. - Picked up on time by a cheerful tour guide named Phindy. We received a detailed explanation of all the animals and plants we encountered. We got 2 well catered meals, breakfast and in the afternoon a real ‘braai’. All in all a great day! Many thanks to Phindy!
