About this experience

Manyoni 2 Day Safari
Wild Routes Africa is a truly amazing company to go with. I really couldn’t rate them more highly. From the start Justin was quick to answer questions and make recommendations based on our budget and preferences. He was also able to tailor the tour so that we got all the key bits out of it that we wanted. The tour started with collection from the airport, followed by an amazing dusk game drive with our very knowledgable guide Mzano then back to the lodge for an incredible brai cooked by Thabo who entertained us with his stories and incredible knowledge of the local area, history of the area and animal facts! After a good night’s rest at our beautiful lodge we were collected again by Mzano for an all day game drive where we enjoyed breakfast and lunch out in the bush. We were then driven back to Durban (although we were so exhausted that we slept the whole way!) Such an amazing experience for our first ever Safari where we saw a cheetah and her cub, lions, rhino, monkeys, baboons, zebra, giraffe, wild dogs, so many antelope and so much more I can’t list them all. A great company and your that I would recommend to anyone. Thank-you.

2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Durban.
How much does 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni cost?
+
Prices start at $9950 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Durban usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Durban is not rushed.
Is 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Durban, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Durban can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Durban and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Big 5 Safari Tour of St Lucia, Hluhluwe, iMfolozi, Manyoni start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Durban within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Durban?
+
On Outty we rank every Durban experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Culture Walking Tour of Durban, Sani Pass & Lesotho 4x4 Experience Day Tour from Durban, Discover Rorkes Drift on our Day Tour from Durban. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Durban?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Durban?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
