Fabulous Safaris - We did all of the safari's available while we were guests at the Heritage guest house. One day it poured with rain so we called a halt to that's days safari and the manager of the guest house very kindly rearranged for us to go the next day instead. The drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and did their very best to find us those elusive animals. I would happily stay there again if I'm ever back that way. Special thanks goes to Ngiyabonga for finding us a leopard and Lindo for making us laugh so much.

Perfect safari feeling - This time we came to St. Lucia as a family. We booked the 3 Nights 4 Days Hluhluwe St Lucia Safari package and were not disappointed. With lots of animals and beautiful moments. Thanks to Siya and all the other guides. The accommodation in the Heritage House was also great. A friendly team where you felt at home.

Amazing experience - WOW. An awesome experience.Helen was fabulous and so accommodating when making changes to our booking. Payment was so convenient. Our safari itself was such a beautiful experience. We only got to see 3 if the big 5 but it was still amazing. Yamkela was our guide and he was so interactive and very knowledgeable about the various animals. We were kept safe the entire time. Heritage tours managed to make our special day much more special. They clearly went out of their way to accommodate us on all fronts....our dietary requirements of vegetarians were met. Thank you for the great memories.

Fantastic - again - After a great experience the first time with heritage tours, I did the same tour again, but now with my wife. It was again wonderful, despite the mediocre weather conditions. Our guide, Jabu, was fantastic. Prepared a great lunch and showed us all the animals.

Very well organized, nice lunch, lots of game and guided by an experienced ranger! - The tour was very well organized! We were picked up at our lodge, it was a long drive to the park but it was all worth it! The breakfast and lunch were very nice! The ranger, Siya, was very experienced and could tell us a lot about the area and all the animals! We were very lucky to see a lot of rhino’s, even a baby rhino! I will definitely recommend the trip to everybody visiting St Lucia!

Fantastic day safari! - We had an amazing day with Lindo, we saw so much and really enjoyed our time. Lindo knew so many facts about the park and animals within it. He was extremely helpful and cooked a fantastic lunch on the brai. We would recommend the tour and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. We saw 3 of the big 5 in a single day, the footprints of a leopard (4 of 5) amongst many other interesting animals, which was fantastic. Thankyou so much!

Fantastic - Heritage Tours in St Lucia were absolutely amazing from booking with Bev who couldn't be more helpful to our guides who were so knowledgeable & so kind I had the pleasure of bringing a group to South Africa in May. The highlight definitely being 8 nights we had spent in St Lucia & going on excursions with Heritage Tours. their professionalism is beyond excellent, which rolls down from Manager Bev. Our Guides Jabu & Yumkela were so accommodating & helpful with a few of our group who had mobility issues. Their passion for their job & the animals & birds shines through & they were able to answer every question that was fired at them. I have travelled the world & this is my top destination and as proof we are coming back next year and we did see the big 5 We also had the pleasure of staying in Heritage House where we were treated like royalty by the beautiful Bonita & Shaggy Dog where everyday she went way beyond our expectations to make our holiday special This whole visit to St Lucia equated to visiting family with so much love & laughs
