A Full Day Safari Tour to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Big 5 Game Reserve

We had a great time on our safari. Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable and fun and we saw many more animals in the short time we had than we could have imagined! Herds of elephants, rhinos plus warthogs, monkeys and even dung beetles. So good! Would highly recommend.

Sheldon was an awesome driver and the day trip to Lesotho up the Sani Pass was very memorable and a crazy exciting drive. A day well invested to see Lesotho and for the drive alone worth it!

We are two seniors from Canada, and we did two overnight tours with Durban safaris and tours. We had very good drivers/guides for our both trips. Mr.Shelldon did some of our driving and he has good knowledge of fauna and flora of this region. We had enough breaks during our long driving and had good food in our hotels. One of the best trips we had so far! Saw some animals, learnt about the culture and visited some villages in Lesotho. We had very clear days in Sanni Pass and the view was so beautiful! We did overnight trips so that we were not too rush to get back to Durban, and enough time to explore the areas. We hope to visit South Africa again and do more trips with them. A big thanks for all the drivers for showing us the countryside.

We did the three day safari with Paul. It was the experience of a lifetime. Paul is very knowledgeable and we could tell that he genuinely wanted to give us an amazing experience. He went out of his way to find as many animals as possible. We were thrilled to see all of the big five plus many more creatures from right up close. We had an amazing experience. The accommodations were also top notch. We highly recommend them. Thank you so very much!

We did the overnight safari to Hluhluwe with Shelldon and it was one of the best touring experiences we have ever had. Shelldon is a very knowledgeable and friendly person who told us a lot about Zulu culture on the way to the safari reserve. Once there we were treated with three most memorable game drives (evening/night and early/late morning) in an open vehicle that allowed us to see the animals up and close. Seeing a full grown lion and an enormous male elephant walk right past our vehicle is an experience we will never forget. We stopped in Durban on a cruise and he did not only pick us up and dropped us safely and on schedule - he also adapted the times accordingly at just a day’s notice when we learnt that we would arrive three hours early. So we were able to see even more. A full recommendation from the four of us. Even if you have time for just one tour - book this one and you won’t regret it. Should we ever return to South Africa we will book Shelldon again. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories!

Paul was our guide for a three day St Lucia and Hluhluwe safari. We were picked up from Durban and driven to St Lucia for an estuary cruise and then from there went to Hluhluwe where we had one evening game drive, a full day game drive and a morning game drive. Paul was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we were able to see 4 of the big 5, as well as plenty of other animals including a cheetah. Paul was great fun to be around as well. Included in the price was all our transport, accommodation, breakfast and dinner and game drives, which we did in an open vehicle. We were four twenty year olds visiting South Africa, so the reasonable price appealed to us and we had a brilliant time on the safari and would definitely recommend it.

Wow what a fantastic experience Collected and dropped off in Umhlanga The Reserve is stunning with so many animals Thanks Paul for really working hard to ensure we got to see all the species I definitely recommend!

We cannot recommend Shelldon highly enough. His local knowledge and experience within the park is excellent. Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere throughout the day.
