Today you will venture into one of Africa's icons the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park. This park in itself saved the Rhinos from near extinction in the 60's when less than 200 Rhinos roamed the planet. This extraordinary feat was accomplished due to wildlife relocation techniques developed right here.
This park is a true Big 5 Park home to both the Black and White Rhino, Leopard, Lion, Elephant and Buffalo.

Magical Outings
Our guide Sifiso was a very experienced and very good guide. We had the advantage of having done a safari with him in the Hluhluwe region during the safari. Since he was very experienced and knew animal behavior very well, he easily took us to the places where those beautiful animals were and allowed us to see those beautiful creatures in groups. Thanks a lot, Sifiso and Heritage Tours&Safaris.
Wonderful
We loved it. Beautiful place and beautiful memories. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable. We will definitely be back. Special thanks to Helen for arranging the tours and pickups, Thobile for a wonderful hippo boat cruise, Bheki and Sifiso for the amazing game drives. You guys are awesome.
Amazing Package
Already during the organization, we got good support from Bev for planning during the 4 days stay in St. Lucia.
The guides Terry and Henry took a lot of time to explain details during the safaris. They both responded to our concerns. We were always driven safely through the reserves.
They were wonderful experiences. We will come back to St Lucia and let heritage sand tour safari take care of us.
