Had a wonderful cruise with Shoreline. Our guide Thobile was excellent - very engaging and took us to all the best spots to make sure we saw heaps of wildlife. The hippos were incredible to see up close, along with crocs and even a fish eagle! The boat was comfortable and spacious so we could move around freely to get the best view

Our guide, Thobile, was so kind, calm and extremely knowledgeable. We felt so safe and well looked-after in her hands. We had an absolutely wonderful time and saw plenty of hippos, crocodiles, yellow weavers and even a fish eagle. Our family group ranged in age from 11-74 and each of us loved the experience. I would 100% recommend going on a boat trip with Shoreline Cruises! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

We had the most interesting river hippo tour. Thobile was a lovely and very knowledgeable guide and made our trip lots of fun. We learnt many things that we never knew about.

We had an absolutely amazing Safari Boat experience with Thobile! Even though we had done this kind of safari before, no guide had ever given us such an incredible experience. The location was stunning, and even in the rain, Thobile took care of everything, giving us towels — she was truly attentive and caring. She is also an exceptional navigator: she handled the boat like I’ve never seen before. She got us up close to hippos, birds, and crocodiles, allowing us to watch them play and interact, all while keeping us completely safe. Her knowledge of the area is limitless: there wasn’t a single question she couldn’t answer, and it’s clear she’s a true passionate expert. We were lucky to have the morning just for my sister and me with her, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much, Thobile!

Shared this experience with my mom who is 91 and partner from UK. What a brilliant your. Learnt an awful lot about hippos crocs birds and saw some warthogs. Thobile our skipper and guide was so well spoken and informative and q very good skipper. Highly suggest this trip. Some awesome videos and pics of large and baby hippos in their pods were captured. I most enjoyed seeing the baby hippo learn to fight with their very protective mom. Thank you. Will come back to do it again as I never get tired of this experience.
