Bule was our tour guide for the day! He did amazing job. He provided detailed education and information since he himself is Zulu. We had so many questions that another guide wouldn't have been able to answer. He was such a gem and a pleasure. The tour experience was made better because of his insight and willingness to share. On the safari he took his time with us and made sure we saw every animal. We even got to see a hippo which most people never get to see. But Bule made sure to drive around and educate us on the different animals and their habits. It was the best possible way to do a safari. My concerns around safaris are whether they are safe but we felt safe the entire time. The photos we were able to get are priceless. We couldn't have asked for a better guide on the tour.
It was a mega tour with incredible wildlife encounters and our guide Bule enriched this day tremendously. A tour with Bule is highly recommended...happy again and again. TOP Tour
My friend is badly disabled and in a wheelchair. When I explained this to the company they provided a private car for the two of us with a charming, knowledgeable guide, Bule. The safari was wonderful - white rhinos, ostriches, monkeys,giraffes etc. The scenery is beautiful and the lunchstop has a truly wonderful view. The dancing was obviously choreographed for the hundreds of tourists and I was rather disappointed that it was not a genuine village but one created for tourists. The raptor area is full of snakes and huge crocodiles and Bule very kindly pushed the wheelchair over some difficult ground. He the showed us quite a good cross section of urban life on the way back to the ship. A memorable day with a wonderful guide.
Buleh, our guide was first rate. My friend is disabled so we were given a private car and Buleh helped with everything - including pushing him round the reptile park. He was very informative and a delight to be with and we thoroughly enjoyed our brief but colourful introduction to PheZulu life, culture and wildlife. A truly memorable day!
The entire experience was exceptionally well coordinated and thoughtfully engaging from start to finish. It offered the perfect balance of cultural immersion and natural exploration, allowing us to truly appreciate the unique beauty and heritage of KwaZulu-Natal. Every detail felt intentional — from the seamless organization of activities to the warm hospitality we received along the way. What made this trip particularly special was the extra care the operators showed. Not only did they guide us through remarkable cultural sites and breathtaking landscapes, but they also went above and beyond by assisting with transportation arrangements. Their attention to safety and comfort gave us complete peace of mind, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the journey. Overall, it was an unforgettable trip that left us with lasting memories and a much deeper appreciation for the people, history, and environment of KZN. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a meaningful and well-curated way to explore the region.
