Join Heritage Tours & Safaris  & Shoreline Boat Safaris on a 2-hour Hippo Boat Cruise on the largest estuarine system in Africa.

• Departing every 2 hours these trips offer you an opportunity to witness the resident Hippos and Nile Crocodiles that reside in the area.
• It is estimated that 800 hippos and 1200 Nile crocodiles reside in the area.
• The system 85km from top to bottom and 25km wide at its widest is regarded as the largest estuarine system in Africa.
• With an incredible abundance of Birdlife year long you are assured of some magnificent sightings and photographic opportunities.

Travel aboard the two Shoreline Vessels that have been custom-built for the prevailing conditions and environment.

These two vessels offer you the shallowest draft getting you closer to any sighting than any other vessel on the estuary.

Small in size the vessels are only permitted to carry 15 passengers, with ample space to move about and knowledgeable and experienced skippers/ rangers you will undoubtedly be intrigued by the amount of information that you will receive during the duration of the Hippo Boat Cruise.

Each vessel has been fitted with 4-stroke outboard motors making your boat cruise comfortable and most importantly as quiet as possible. It is customary for the skipper to switch the motors off and slowly drift towards a sighting, just imagine an African Fish Eagle only 2 meters away or an entire pod of Hippos right in front of the vessel.
