It's in our Nature!

Bearded Heron Safaris has been – and continues to be - successful because we offer insightful glimpses into South African culture and lifestyles that few organised package tours provide.

Combine the raw energy and unrivaled passion for hospitality South Africans share, with the embedded knowledge and love of the wild – and you end up with a cultural experience with people that invite you into their lives to share a magnificent diversity and potpourri of beauty and wonder such as the Kruger National Park.

Yes the Kruger is world-famous – but so is South African hospitality! So is the passion South Africans have for the soil, their history and their wildlife. The stories you get from real South Africans from all walks of life are limitless – our attitude in the bush, the amount of time we spend outdoors, our traditions around the campfire and our reaction to rain are glorious examples of ‘salt of the earth’ people.

Besides being great hosts, people love to experience our ingenuity. South Africans can always make a plan! Going the ‘extra mile’ is simply part of the journey for us – we know that our wine is good because of all the twists and turns in the grape vine!

Bearded Heron Safaris is made of that ilk. We don’t simply design itineraries that provide tours of destinations that are world-famous. We invite you into our homes and lives to share with us what we love so dearly! Our passion for hospitality and our unrequited need to learn about the world – your lives and your cultures have created a situation now where we can honestly say: “In more than 1 000 safaris that we have conducted in the Kruger National Park we haven’t experienced one that hasn’t gained us new friends or that wasn’t successful.”

Our own culture lies deeply embedded in our attitude, our ‘way of life’ and we can’t wait to meet and host more people from all over the world and share the beauty and wonder of African wildlife with you!
