We enjoyed the experience. 3 hours is just too much of a rush. The tour operator should have an agreement with the park to allow an hour or so more in the park, especially at sunset. The scenery is so beautiful.

Nice safari
Nice safari tour. Unfortunately, we had a bit of bad luck with the weather, but everything was organized perfectly with blankets, ponchos, and warm drinks to warm up.
Operator response
Danke! Tut mir leid wegen des Wetters, aber freut mich, dass die Decken, Ponchos und warmen Getränke dich warm gehalten haben. Die Natur ist auch bei Kälte noch schön!

Amazing leopard sightings
Whilst in St Lucia we did a sunset safari with Zama and a night Safari with Sakele. Both were magical and amazing. We saw our first Leopard, it was near us for around 20 mins. Both our guides knew the reserve and the animala so well and were amazingly knowledgeable, even finding 2 species of chameleon on a night drive along with many other new species for us. I highly recommend this company. Thank you
Operator response
Wow, a leopard for 20 minutes - what a sighting! So happy both your sunset drive with Zama and night drive with Sakele were magical. Finding those chameleons on the night drive is always so special too. Thank you for recommending us!

Lovely Sunset Tour of iSimangaliso Wetland Park
We were collected from our accommodation by our guide, Lindo, for an evening safari into iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The vehicle was a 'Kruger Spec' on a Toyota Hilux and was easy to access and very comfortable. Lindo was great fun, very knowledgable and able to find animals and birds that we had not noticed. Sundowners at Catalina Bay watching a beautiful African Sunset was a fitting climax. The drive back home was cold, but warm blankets made it enjoyable. While a great tour I would suggest the Full Day tour might be a better option.
Operator response
We’re glad you enjoyed the Sunset safari with Lindo and the sunset at Catalina Bay. I’ll pass on your kind words about the comfortable vehicle and Lindo’s great spotting skills and knowledge. Whilst a Full Day tour is a wonderful experience, for those with time limitations, a Sunset Tour is perfect for those with limited time to explore. Thank you so much for your review.

Night Drive
This evening drive is made by the guide. Interesting, knowledgeable and extremely entertaining he had us all completely focused. Eyes like a hawk he found chameleons, birds and small mammals as well as the big guys like hippo, elephant, zebra etc. Thoroughly recommended
Operator response
We’re so glad you enjoyed the night drive and that our guide kept everyone completely focused. Eyes like a hawk indeed — finding chameleons, birds, and small mammals alongside hippo, elephant and zebra sounds amazing. We really appreciate you recommending the experience.

Amazing sunset safari
Ronnie was an excellent driver and guide. He picked us up early from our accommodation and we spotted many animals with him. Very knowledgeable. After dropping the other guests at their lodging he drove us around town looking for hippos before dropping us off.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad Ronnie made your sunset safari special and went the extra mile to help you spot hippos. Hope to welcome you back on safari again soon.

A fantastic tour we would do again anytime
Our guide Zama was extremely friendly, knew how to give us a lot of information and tried to track down many animals. We were very lucky to be able to observe 4 rhinos on our street. The sundowner (coffee/tea with muffins) at Catalina Bay Lookout was also fantastic. The tour we can only recommend!!!
Operator response
Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut mich, dass Zama die Tour so informativ und freundlich gestaltet hat und dass Sie 4 Nashörner sehen konnten. Ich werde ihm Ihren Dank ausrichten. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie für einen weiteren Sundowner in Catalina Bay wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.
