The iSimangaliso Wetland Park and its estuary, an area with one of the highest concentrations of hippos and crocodiles in southern Africa, is set just 240 kilometers from Durban. This park is South Africa's first World Heritage Site and includes nine percent of the country's coastline, making it one of the most magnificent areas to visit. Book our three-night safari package, and enjoy everything that this beautiful area has to offer.
Day 1
Self-drive to St Lucia, a tiny community at the edge of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Gather for a briefing with your guide, and then get ready for a two-hour sunset boat cruise on the St Lucia Estuary. Witness the hippos, Nile crocodiles, and a wide variety of estuarine birds. After dinner at your lodge, head off for a two-and-a-half hour night drive straight into the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Spend the night at a four star establishment in St Lucia.
Day 2
It's an early start to the day! Head over to the Umfolozi Game Reserve in an open game drive vehicle, and enjoy a breakfast set up in the bush; here, you will see the abundance of animal life in the area. Rolling hills, thick bush and open plains are the setting to view the Big 5, impala and giraffes. You will have a knowledgeable guide to hand, and you can take your time to find and observe all the exciting wildlife.
Lunch is a traditional South African barbeque lunch in the bush, or a picnic lunch (if inclement weather). Spend the evening at a four star establishment in St Lucia.
Day 3
Today we start a little later, with an 8.00 am pick-up, heading off to Cape Vidal on the hunt for marine life and the Samango Monkeys that are prevalent here. Snorkel in the protected bay (weather and low tide permitting), and discover stunning tropical fish species, hidden coves, and game fish. Stop for a picnic, and then spend the evening at a four star establishment in St Lucia.
Day 4
Enjoy breakfast at the lodge, after which you can head home with memories of those Samango Monkeys!

Reviews for 3 Night St Lucia Safari Package
"no Title"
Booked a boat cruise through Heritage. The boat was operated by Shoreline and skippered by Dennis. Truly a 5 star experience. Dennis was one of the best guides weve had in Africa, and by far the best in Saint Lucia.
"no Title"
We did a 3 night tour with Heritage Tours & Safaris and could not fault it in any way! The guides are knowledgeable about the area and the local flora & fauna well beyond 'the big five'. The tours are comfortable and group size is kept small. We were never rushed. Lunch provided was great - a BBQ the first full day and a picnic spread the second full day. We were lodged at Umlilo Lodge which was a beautiful little rain forest garden.

Such a great experience. Our guide, Theo, was amazing. We got to see so many wildlife. Gone off the road and had an amazing picnic in the middle of the bush after an awesome snorkeling session where we got to see all the water creatures at Cape vidal.

Great Tour Package with excellent guidingWe've booked a 3 nights package for our family of four. The package included a Hippo/Croc boat tour on the St. Lucia Estuary, a day trip safari to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, a night safari as well as a day tour including snorkeling in Simangaliso Wetland Park. We were happy with the tours, cars and guides (special mention Zayne who did an awesome job), as well as the lodging at Turtle Bay Lodge and food. Unforgettable experiences, perfectly organized and highly recommended.

Had a great time with Heritage tours. Their B and B is a wonderful place to stay with a delicious breakfast. The game drives were long, but we saw a lot of animals.

We did a sunset game drive and a full day package and had an amazing experience on both. I will recommend them to anyone. They accommodated our booking needs and were very helpful and professional. We were lucky enough to get Kyle on both our game drives who has such a passion for what he does and goes the extra mile to make all his trips memorable and special. Very professional and real value for money. Thank you for making our holiday spectacular :)

Had a great Experience with the Sunset Game Drive in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park with Kyle from Heritage Tours. The drive in the park was nearly the full 3h and he even extended our trip a little bit looking for some Hippos near town. Saw all the animals in the park and wonderful birds! Heritage gives the best value for money in St. Lucia.

We went on a tour with Dennis and saw quit a few hippos! You would be amazed! Also for people who are into bird spotting looking for crocodiles and other wildlife this is your tour! The boat was small and that is in your advantage when cruising around. The maximum allowance is 15 people per tour. Just do it :)

They totally botched our booking, were unhelpful and unapologetic about it and I would never go back not recommended their services.

Great experience. Kyle was patient and knew exactly where to take us to make sure the trip was well worth the time and money spent. My son of 11 had nothing but high praises for Kyle's knowledge. Definitely an experience for our visitor from Brazil. A Company I would highly recommend to others.
