Richards Bay Shore Excursions

Explore Richards Bay, the gateway to Zululand and the wild heart of KwaZulu-Natal, on a private shore excursion with Bakadi Dreams. This region is home to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations and a rich Zulu cultural heritage.

🦁 Hluhluwe-Imfolozi – Africa’s Oldest Game Reserve

The legendary Hluhluwe-Imfolozi National Park is the oldest proclaimed game reserve in Africa and home to the Big 5. Our safaris range from a classic Big 5 game drive to the spectacular combined safari and St. Lucia boat tour for hippos and crocodiles in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site).

🐘 Unique Wildlife Encounters

Beyond the Big 5, Richards Bay offers truly special experiences: a hands-on Bayete Zulu elephant interaction, a visit to a wildcat rehabilitation centre for cheetahs, servals and caracals, and a scenic hippo and crocodile cruise through the St. Lucia estuary.
