St Lucia & Hluhluwe We did a 2 night safari tour which included a game drive with Jacques who was absolutely amazing - his knowledge of the park & animals made the trip much more personable and he really went out of his way to get us to see as much as possible - I would highly recommend him

What to Expect & Pack on this 2 Day Safari Package?

This will be an extremely busy 2 days out in the Bush, unfortunately you will not have alot of free time on this package. The reason being is that we understand that you might be limited on time exploring South Africa, and therefore we have included as many safaris as possible. 

St Lucia lies within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and is therefore a world heritage site. Don't be surprised should you encounter Hippos walking about at night as well as some other amazing wildlife species. Your accommodation (At Heritage House) is within walking distance to town so there is no need to drive around. 

All Safaris depart directly from the BNB for your added convenience. 

What to Pack:

Comfortable clothing, shoes, hat and sunblock during the summer months. If possible a camera. During the winter months we would advise a jacket for the Big 5 Safari outing as it is a early morning outing. Blankets are available on all of the Game Drive Vehicles.
