Definite must do, great guide!

A wonderful enlightening experience! Zamani is so knowledgeable about South African history especially about the Zulu peoples. He made our journey to the game reserve so interesting by telling us about King Shaka. The safari was great!! Even on a hot day we were able to spot 3 of the big 5! The river boat was fantastic, we saw loads of hippo pods. Sadly the crocodiles evaded us, once again due to the heat. If you are doing the day tour from Durban to the park be prepared for a long day but it will be well worth it with Zamani!

The game drive was great....

The game drive was great. Didn"t see a lion or lepard but did see a cheetah! The boat trip was nice, got some great pictures of hippos. It was however a long day.

Lots of fun

This tour was so good as there was a lot of information given historical wise and as well nature wise. At the NP I was able to watch how a lioness had catch a prey. At the wetlands the Hippos had been impressive and how close we got to them. We even saw a small crocodile which is rare on such temperatures. And hypes of birds. As a Kingfisher, Fisheagle, weaver birds, ect.
