Fantastic boat tour where we saw plenty of hippos - most memorably a group of hippos sleeping on the shore. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Complimentary fruit, biscuits and coffee were provided. We even went over the 2 hour time slot so we’d see the sunset. Highly recommended.
Great

Kane picked us up from our hotel towards the harbour where his boat was parked. First he explained what makes the area so special and then quite quickly spotted hippos, catfish and crocodiles by boat. He has an extensive knowledge of all the animal species that live in this area and talks even more while enjoying some drinks, biscuits and sweets. Very successful tour!

Nice experience, you also see really hippos and crocodiles, some boats are very large and sail very close. On this tour we had an experienced guide and up to 15 people on board.
