Great full day in iSimangaliso
We went out to iSimangaliso for the day. Theo, our guide, was very friendly and shared great knowledge. Having worked in the bush for many years myself, I was very pleased to learn new things from Theo.
We were extremely lucky to have a gorgeous sighting of a male leopard - that was truly memorable, especially in this park.
The food prepared for breakfast and lunch was very pleasant and I appreciated that they had a great vegetarian option.
I would recommend the full-day tour with Heritage!
Had an excellent tour with Heritage Tours. Would highly recommend it. We arrived by cruise ship and Heritage modified their schedule to meet ours.
We had an amazing experience with the bush and boat safari. Both guides were very friendly and went out of their way to make the experience memorable and ensure we saw as many animals as possible. Would recommend it for first-time visitors to the area. Made our trip to the area worry-free.
