iSimangaliso Wetland Park

No Safari to Africa can ever be complete without experiencing a Night Drive Safari. This 3 Hour Safari into the Western Shores of iSimangaliso Wetland Park takes you deep into the bush. Go in search of nocturnal wildlife and hear the bush come alive. A night drive is completely different from any other type of day safari, to say the least, it's quite incredible. Go in search of Leopard, Hippos, Buffalo, Elephants, Giraffe, Rhino, Cameleons and truly so much more awaits your visit. One of only two concession holders so why not enjoy this magnificent Park to yourself at night.

    We had booked a night tour and from the moment the guide picked us up we enjoyed all his knowledge. He has told us a lot of information and showed us the most amazing animals you will not encounter during the day. We would definitely book this tour again, we would not have missed this!!

  • Three brilliant experiences with Heritage Tours

    We had three tours with Heritage Tours. Communication with Helen was perfect! Early in the morning, in the evening, she was always there for us. Boat tour is awesome, full day Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve is awesome with breakfast and lunch in the reserve. Sifiso was our guide, he was brilliant. And the night drive with Sakhile, you just don't wanna miss out on that experience! Hippo, elephants and hyena to name just a few! So just book with Heritage Tours, they are the best!

  • Special evening tour – spotting animals in the dark

    We did an evening tour with our family (children aged 17, 15 and 14) and this was a very nice and special experience. We were neatly picked up at our accommodation and drove together with the ranger into the bush. With large lamps he searched the area and soon we saw hippos, wildebeest, zebras, impalas and even bushbabies. A highlight was the small chameleon that the ranger discovered from the car – we were even allowed to let him walk on our hand for a while. Halfway there was a short stop with coffee, tea and a muffin under the stars. ✨ Since we had already done several safaris during the day, this really felt like a perfect addition. It gives a completely different experience of the bush and the animals in their nocturnal habitat.

    We had a very successful evening thanks to our wonderful guide. He had a good eye for the small animals and told everything in a nice way. The short lesson on the local language was a nice addition.

    This is our 3rd experience bringing a group to St Lucia and being looked after by Heritage Tours & Safaris, our guides, Jabu & Yumkel were amazing, so knowledgeable answering so many questions and so helpful and kind with some of our group who had mobility issues. everyone we had contact with from booking with the amazing Bev, Mandy & their amazing staff to our guides were so so helpful. Can't recommend them highly enough We were so impressed with their choice of excursions & we went on so many We will be back again

    Awesome 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.

  • Amazing 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!

    The tour was a really great experience! A night safari is something special and you should definitely have done one in addition to the usual safaris during the day. The guide was really great too. He started by giving a brief introduction to the park, the surrounding area, the land itself and the languages here. An informative and interesting, not too long introduction. Then it was time for the park. The guide drove really well and safely, he has an incredible view, because he could assign all the animals directly to the distance, whereas for us it was initially just some bright eyes. There was also a short coffee/tea break with delicious muffins. All in all: absolutely recommended!!
