Combine a St Lucia hippo cruise with a Hluhluwe-Imfolozi safari on this long, wildlife-packed day trip from Durban.
“We were picked up and returned to the ship by an easy to spot zebra colored van. The pleasant guide, Vuzi was from the area and knowledgeable. We saw rhinos, hippos, birds, zebras, impalas. We were told in advance that the animals do not always cooperate and show their faces. I was happy to see this alluring country and some of it's beautiful creatures. My sister thought the St. Lucia Boat ride was boring, but I enjoyed the leisurely trip down the river.”
