Very nice trip near the hippos - Super nice boat trip made and lots of hippos seen. Our Guide gave a lot of explanation and told with humor. Along the way we were well taken care of with coffee, tea and fruit.

Friendly guide Siabonga and awesome tour - This morning boat tour (10 am) was really awesome. We even booked it twice. Both tours were accompanied by a guide called Siabonga - a really lovely, friendly guy that shared so much knowledge about hippos, crocs , birds, frogs and other species with us. During both trips we saw crocs, sea eagles and other birds and we drove close to a big group of hippos. We were really enjoying it and would definitely recommend to book this tour with Siabonga (as far as we know he only works in the mornings - so book 10 am tours ;) )

Great guide and value for money - Although it is one of the more expensive boat tours it is absolutely worth it.
Our guide (Brown) was incredible. He was very friendly, open and was able to answer all our questions. I highly recommend him as a guide and recommend the company for the boat tour.

Lovely morning on the water - We had a lovely time. Our guide was knowledgeable and was very patient with the young children. He offered interesting information about the animals, the area, the history and future of the protected area.
Taking the early morning boat was a wonderful way to watch the sun break on the water, we saw plenty of hippos, birds, catfish and even a few crocodiles.

The best there is !!!! - Very well done ! I wouldn't go with any other tour guide.
S. Dube was our outstanding guide. Trust me you won't be disappointed and will come back with knowledge of the wildlife, the area and a satisfaction that your time was well spent!

How confident are you with your booking? - We actually went to St Lucia especially for this boat trip.
I made a booking and payment in May and received a confirmation email and two reminder emails.
We were supposed to be picked up at our hotel, but no one showed up. An error occurred at the company when booking.
We received a refund but no alternative or compensation was offered. This is of little use to us, because we only do a trip to South Africa once from Belgium.
