01 Jan 2019 Great Day Safari
Our Hluhluwe Umfolozi park half-day tour with Heritage was amazing!! All credits to Jason, our tour guide. Jason was really patient, attentive and friendly. He shared lots of interesting details on wildlife, knew the park very well and always looked for the best sights. We saw impalas, warthog, wildebeest, zebras, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and a lion. The food was great too! An experience we'll never forget.
