Hippos in the sunset
Nov 2023 • Family
Brown, our guide was really funny and informative. Knew all the spots for hippos and could point a few crocs hiding on the banks as well.
Sitting, having a hot chocolate while watching the hippos frolic with the sun setting was a really unforgettable experience.
Would definitely recommend ShakaBarker.

Beach and Safari combo
Oct 2023 • Family
We had a fantastoc day with Luke at ShakaBarker. We saw a lot of animals and Luke was very eager to tell us about everything. In addition there was a splendid time at a fantastic beach with snorkling and playing in the waves. For lunch a good tasting barbeque prepared by Luke. Can recommend this day trip

Great boat trip
Sep 2023 • Couples
It was amazing how close we could observe the hippos. This was the highlight. Also all the other animals to see so close to the shore was fantastic especially the River birds.

Great Tour
Sep 2023 • Family
My wife, 2-year-old son, and I did a 2-hour tour at 10 a.m. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. The boat was safe for my son to run around in, and we were able to get great views of the hippos, crocs, and several birds. Would recommend.

Great night drive with Lucky Luke!
Sep 2023 • Family
We went on a very enjoyable night drive guided by Luke! He started by telling us a little about the history of iSimangaliso and the different ecosystems. During our drive he told us a lot of fun and interesting facts about the different animals we spotted. There was never a boring moment during the 3 hour drive with a joke every now and then. :-)
We can definitely recommend this guided tour!

Great tour
Aug 2023 • Family
The tour was easy to book online. We were picked up as expected and taken to the boat. We were given a lot of information and then taken along the river. We saw lots of hippos including babies and a crocodile. We had plenty of time to watch the hippos and got very close. Our boat was smaller than the others on the water which we liked.
