On Saturday, 8/15 we left KwaZulu-Natal behind and headed toward iSimangaliso Wetland Park. There we boarded a boat in hopes of seeing crocs and hippos in the water. Africa has only 1 type of saltwater croc and we were able to see 3 sunning themselves on the shore. Hippos were spotted rather quickly with their heads up and down out of the water. Our guide spotted several on shore and positioned the boat for all to see. I would describe the experience as akin to watching the grass grow, but one big fella did reposition himself in the mud for greater comfort. Hippos surprisingly kill more humans than any other African animal! We ended the day at a hotel in Durban.
We enjoyed city tour of Durban for our last day together, Sunday 8/16, and a stop at the beach to see the Indian Ocean. I had some extra time before my airport drop off so took an opportunity to visit the city mall which was adjacent to our tour guide's office. The mall was very lovely with palm trees and fountains which soared into the air under beautiful domes which reflected the light. People watching was the best part of visiting this crowded and bustling place!
We have told everyone we know about Adventure Life. What a great company to work with and no detail is missed. Call them for your next adventure!!

We received an immediate response from Kassandra who reserved our cruise as soon as she got a confirmation from us. Maria and Jess also were in touch right away.

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.
