Breathtaking iSimangaliso: Cape Vidal Coastal Safari Day

The reserve is very peaceful, very close to St Lucia. Sakhile was a fantastische guide, with a lot of knowledge and a great personality. A next time, I would hope he would guide is again. The day has a high variety, from very green and far-sighted landscape, zebra’s, Buffalo’s, rhino’s, kuddu’s, warthogs but also smaller species as the cameleon up to snorkling and a bbq at the beach. Of you ar lucky you can even spot a whale from the top. Different than Kruger, but also so many things to see, much more quiet, green also in winter and surely worth a guided tour

Don’t miss this opportunity to visit the ISimangaliso wetland park and discover snorkeling at Cape Vidal. We had an excellent day, thanks to the team.

The perfect way to discover the iSimangaliso wet land parc is this tour with the wonderful guide Sakhile. He has strong connections with the nature and shares happily his knowledge about the area its animals and history. The best day of our two week vacation in beautiful South Africa. A highlight of the day was the brahi lunch that Sakhile prepared for us in Cape Vidal. We experienced many animals and took many many photos of the extraordinary wildlife and surroundings. We hope to be back one day.

Sakhile was, no doubt, our best guide for our entire stay in St Lucia! His love for his land shows in the way he talks about it, about the animals, about the language. We had so much more than a safari day, we had a history lesson, we had an adventure! And the most wonderful person as our guide. We strongly recommend this safari! Thank you Sakhile!

This trip was awesome. The stories, the backgrounds, the insight, the kindness, and of course the safari. Just think of what you really want out of this safari, let them know, and they’ll do all they can to make it so. Thanks!!!

What a great day. The best safari we have had in SA. We started the day with snorkeling. It was an adventure, really quite cold to go snorkeling at 7:00 but the Indian ocean is quite warm. After some hot chocolate we were off for a safari. What a beautiful park. We had a few stops and a lovely Braai. A special thanks to our guide Sakhile, he made the trip special and because of him it was the best safari we have had in SA. He took the time to explain about the history and culture and even taught us some Zulu. He connected with everyone and went our of his way to make sure we had a great time. Thanks Sakhile!

Wow, what a great day and experience! Sakhile is an inspiring, knowledgeable, passionate guide. Absolutely fantastic!

Our guide was amazing. He was very friendly and told us slot about his culture, so interesting. We saw unbelievable small frogs to Elephant’s and a gracious Rhino, so close we nearly touched it.

Absolutely fantastic! Our guide Sakhile was brilliant. He has an extensive knowledge about the area and so much passion. It was a superb day out. Snorkeling was beautiful, again our guide had so much knowledge and really went the extra mile to show us as much as possible under water. Will definitely recommend Safari and Surf as an full day outing in St Lucia. Thank you to all of you!

We visited Kosi Bay December 2020 and went snorkeling on two occasions at Kosi Bay mouth. We were fortunate to see stone fish, moray eels, manta rays and many other fish species. The turtle tour was a wonderful and unique experience. We would definitely recommend Rick and Elise from Safari and Surf and would like to thank them for their knowledge, patience, kindness and their willingness to go the extra mile. Tembe Elephant Park is also a must. Truly an unforgettable experience.
