About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- HeathAbroad0 contributionsThe best tour with the nicest and most knowlegable guideWe had a brilliant full day tour with our guide Jabu. He had a wealth of knowledge, he tracked some of the animals by their tracks and gave us the best experience of seeing more animals up close, and he definitely knows how to braai a steak :) We had a fantastic pasta salad at lunch too and when i messaged the office to say thanks and how brilliant it was and could I have the recipe for the salad they sent me the recipe a couple days later! Awesome tour! Well worth the experience!!Written 14 January 2025
- Escape464716073060 contributionsPERFECT safari!Thank you Heritage, Mandy and Jabu for arranging the perfect safari to treat my sister with true South African hospitality and authenticity. We loved every minute. Jabu is just an amazing guide! From the fist sighting, which was a cheetah, until we left after enjoying a perfect lunch! Five starts you deserve! Lots of love.

- 281tarrynr0 contributionsGreat tour company and packages.Helen was amazing at booking the right package for my family and myself, and our guide Terry was very knowledgeable on the area and the fauna and flora as well as super friendly. Lovely lunch was provided and overall experience was great. Would recommend when in the area.Written 11 January 2025
- terenep20250 contributionsBest Holiday - Heritage House highly recommendWe stayed at Heritage House for our honeymoon and it was the best decision we made. Bonita was warm and friendly from the moment we arrived. The rooms were always neat and tidy and the breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious every morning. Even our tour guides were so happy and friendly. We can't wait to go back. 10/10 for Bonita and her team Terene and TorelloWritten 11 January 2025
- 505dominicy0 contributionsWe got the Giraffe!What an absolutely amazing day out. Would highly recommend. We saw loads of game and what made it even better was our amazing guide, TK. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and an all-round legend. Big ups and thank you so much to the Heritage and TK.Written 9 January 2025
- 130yaelb0 contributionsBeautiful tourThe tour was amazing! We started the day of with rain but Terry was prepared for everything (ponchos / towels). Luckily the car already provides enough coverage so the ponchos were not necessary at all. Terry had great knowledge of all the animals and birds in the park. He spotted animals from far and we got to learn so many new things. He even spotted a chameleon crossing the road while driving. The tour itself takes you to the beautiful Cape Vidal where you have a nice lunch. We would definitely recommend!!Written 8 January 2025
- Z3841YIsylvainp0 contributionsBeautiful and amazingWe had a great day out with the family. The guide, Terry, was great. The tour is very well organized and the vehicle very suitable. With Terry, we discovered and learned a lot and saw extraordinary animals, birds and insects, even if some of the larger ones were missing. Thank youWritten 8 January 2025
- Maryrose_Dublin0 contributionsIt all worked like clockwork and we had an enjoyable timeIt all worked like clockwork! We rocked up to st Lucia , were provided with our accommodation which was really good. The hippos and sunset drive were great, but the big five drive with our fun and knowledgeable guide yam was superb. 🙏 Saw elephants giraffes zebra kudu rhino buffalo... Sadly missed a big cat, but the temperatures were too hot 🔥 maybe next time. Thanks to Bev and her team for the smooth operation of this really memorable few days Safari. Highly recommendedWritten 7 January 2025

- 79lindseyp0 contributionsGreat tourCould not have asked for a better tour guide that Jabu. Not only was he funny, but also knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was lovely and the braai at lunch time was lekker. Despite the heat, we managed to see 3 of the Big 5 which we were really happy about. This is a beautiful park and we could not thank Jabu and Herotage Toyrs enoughWritten 5 January 2025
- ajmalhossenboccus0 contributionsIsimangaliso night safariAwesome drive at night. The weather was nice and cool. Was fortunate to have a close encounter with a leopard being chased by hyenas. All thanks to our most helpful and wonderful driver siyabonga who tried his utter best to get us closest to the leopard. Seen some zebras,hyenas,and hippos as well.Written 4 January 2025
- lebou20250 contributionsThank you Heritage Tours - a dream start to 2025!Highly recommend this tour, and especially Terry, our guide, who was so knowledgeable, engaging, and funny, I didn't want the tour to end (and mind , it's a full day tour beginning 8am!) I went with my mum and younger sister, visiting from Belgium, and we had already been to Kosi Bay and Hluhlwe. I write this review at the end of our week out here. I can safely say that for me, this was the best part of the time spent in Northern KwaZulu-Natal. Terry took incredible care of us all, from the details he shared about each animal we came across (including why to never turn a tortoise upside down) to how he made the drive feel comfortable and unrushed, and his overall attitude towards the biodiversity in the park and also the personnel and people around the iSimangaliso Wetlands Park. Seeing the wildlife, the Mission Rocks beach, and discovering the greatly addictive delicacy that are water berries - these are just some of the amazing memories from this tour. To top it, we were with a wonderful group in our tour, so this is also a great way to enjoy time with other visitors of the area. Like I said, I was sad when the tour came to an end as I felt I was only just starting to learn about the most incredible ecosystem I've come across, and this was thanks to a guide who deserves every star in this review. It's impossible to recommend Heritage Tours enough because they really think of every detail, down to making sure my itinerary of booked events did not clash with potential New Year's Eve or New Year Day noise or disruptions. Thank you Heritage Tours and Terry our guide for a dream start to 2025!Written 4 January 2025
- TracySmith510 contributionsFamily reunion half day safari experienceBooked a half day family reunion safari for 10 of us. Yamkele was brilliant. He asked if we wanted to see any animals in specific and took us to see them. The list was endless of all the other beautiful animals we saw along the way. We had a yummy breakfast which was part of the package then lunchtime we received a special surprise from the ladies in the office which absolutely made our day. Can highly recommend the team.Written 3 January 2025
- extrapieceofsunshine0 contributionsAmazing Experience!!!We stayed at Heritage House & went on a few tours with them, & absolutely loved our experience! The accommodation was homey, clean, & comfortable, & all the staffs were very nice & friendly. They helped to coordinate all the tours for us, which made it very convenient. We enjoyed all the tours, but we all decided our favorite was the Night Safari, which was a nice surprise as we initially didn’t plan to do it, but added it to our itinerary based on Bonita’s recommendation - & we were so glad we did! It was an experience unlike any other game drives or night safaris we’ve ever had before (& we’ve had quite a few!). The tour guide (whose name sounded like Shakira) was absolutely fantastic both at spotting & driving - which meant a lot of off-roading. We saw everything from hyenas, grazing hippos, bush babies, to the tiniest new born chameleon. Seeing the animals at night also gave a completely different feeling. Highly recommend!Written 29 December 2024
- chancer_too0 contributionsA memorable adventureWe recently hired heritage tours for two safaris in St. Lucia & Hluhlue from our cruise ship. From beginning to end the experience was exceptional. Every person from Heritage that we came in contact with was professional, helpful and genuinely seemed to want to make the most of our safari experience. They worked with me to customize an itinerary and made sure that we were picked up from the ship and returned on time. The pricing was far better than a shore excursion and on our full day safari, we were guaranteed window seats (no one would sit in the middle – I have a cumbersome camera and wanted to make sure I had space to move). While both guides were very good, the guide on our full-day safari was truly outstanding and made our experience! Arno was engaging, entertaining and incredibly informative. He took time to point out small things (birds/dung beetles/porcupine quills) in addition to pointing out when a group of giraffes was paying attention to Impala warning calls, spotting things in the distance that were only corroborated with binoculars, and sitting on the road while a herd of elephants walked past our vehicle at a distance of less than 1metre. It was a magnificent day and felt like a true adventure, not just a drive through a park. An adventure I would gladly recommend to anyone and everyone and a company I would also gladly recommend. If anyone is considering a self-drive option, I would highly recommend against it – we would not have seen a fraction of what we did if it hadn’t been for Arno’s incredible eyes and knowledge. It was truly a day to cherish and remember. Thank you Heritage ToursWritten 28 December 2024

One of the best experiences ever!! We chose the sunset safari with the amazing Yamkela as our guide, heritage day tours and safaris have set the bar on game drives extremely high. Yamkela our guide was very informative about the local wildlife he was so patient in his tour and made every experience filled with fun. The highlight was a young male elephant out in the open and tried to scare us off with his might but Yamkela handled it all to well! Outstanding service I would chose heritage day tours and safaris always. Thanks Yamkela for a once in a lifetime experience!!!

The weather was not really inviting but my guide Yamkela certainly was. Wrapped up snuggly in blankets and rain ponchos we set out to explore the Eastern Shores. Hats off to Yamkela for very skillful driving, navigating the wet muddy roads. The buffalo were out enjoying the cooler weather and we had some great up close sightings. Add in some magnificent kudu, bush buck, shy red duiker, zebra and hippos and it made for a very enjoyable outing. We kept on looking for that elusive leopard right up to the gate exit but as you know, cat's don't like water. Simply another reason to go out on another trip as soon as possible. Thanks Yamkela, Mandy and Heritage Tours. Highly recommended. Don't let the weather put you off.

Our driver was Siyabonga, he is the best in the world, we really enjoyed our time with him. He is friendly, and because of him we now know alot about different animals. We will definitely come back. He also made us safely escape an elephant that had people stuck on the road for hours, wish I could shared the video with yall, it was so exciting 😁❤️

The guide Siyabonga made the tour an unforgettable experience. A very knowledgeable guide. We saw a variety of wild life such as the hippopotamus, Buffalos, bushbuck, impala, warthog to name some. We visit the St Lucia beach. Highly recommend to book this tour if you want to experience upclose wild life creatures. Coming from Ecuador I find this place and the people absolutely amazing.

The night drive was incredible! The park was so beautiful at night and the sights were breathtaking. Our guide was Sakhile who was absolutely amazing. The way he talks about South Africa and what makes the country so unique along with his descriptions of the animals we encountered made for such an excellent experience. I have no idea how Sakhile is able to spot the animals so well, at one point he even spotted a baby chameleon. Would highly recommend the night drive

Siya was a lovely guide having picked us up from our accommodation in St Lucia we then headed to the wetlands. Siya was very informative and we all learned something new about some of the animals we saw, unfortunately no Elephants but we did see a Rhino which is a tick off my husbands bucket list. Beautiful sunset drive with a stop for coffee at an amazing viewpoint. Would definitely recommend to a friend, make sure to take a jacket. Thank you for a wonderful evening. (Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the rhino)

We had an absolutely great tour with a legendary guide, Sekhile. Sekhile started the tour, and told us very excitingly about this great country, its inhabitants, culture and traditions. And then we did a wonderful night safari with him: He showed us the most diverse animals, from the small sleeping birds to camels, buffaloes, hyenas, but also a owl. An incredible great tour that we can 100% recommend!

Our guide Yamjela out did himself...seeing the big 4 in 3 hrs unreal. He was a great guide and interacted making the whole experience even better. We were lucky to find the 🐘 and even seen honey badgers run across the road past it.
The experience is amazing and heritage tours will do their best to accomodate your needs. Very professional with a world of knowledge.
