Day 1

We depart from Durban and head north through Zululand to St Lucia.

Nestled in the corner created by the warm Indian Ocean, St Lucia estuary and Isimangaliso Wetland Park, St Lucia is the perfect place to explore from.

Today we take a cruise on the St Lucia estuary, home to 800 hippopotamus and numerous crocodiles. The estuary is part of the world heritage site, Isimangaliso Wetland Park. Although there are no lions here there are possibilities of seeing Leopard, elephant, Buffalo and Rhino. The birds are abundant with stilts, lapwings, moorhens and fish eagles to name a few.

During your cruise the captain will share his wealth of knowledge about the area and the hippos that you see, up close.

Back in time to get some lunch at the Deep Sea Angling Club with its Beautiful setting viewing Sea and estuary.

Tonight, you will depart on a late-night safari drive. Hopefully you will see a leopard or some hippos out about.

Dinner is not included but ample time will be given to visit one of the plentiful restaurants before your safari drive.

(No Meals included)

Day 2

We start our day with the 6 o’clock coffee and rusks then off to Hluhluwe game reserve

 Your private guide will pick you up at your accommodation and after a short drive your Safari tour will begin. Hluhluwe has regularly seen big 5 and other fantastic sightings like wild dogs and giraffe.

The first few hours will be spent spotting and watching wildlife and beautiful landscapes. Breakfast will be a buffet at Hillltop camp.

Your safari will continue for the day hunting for those animals yet to be seen. Driving along rivers and high vantage points.

 Lunch will bring an end to the day and sadly your safari. Then head back along the coast to Durban. We may stop on the way at a local community run market for some souvenir shopping
