It was a great experience to see these beautiful animals in there own environment in the wild. To see them strolling around with not a care in the world and no predators. I would also like to add a comment about our driver and guide who's name was Tommy .what a wonderful man,went out of his way to show us around that wonderful Tala game reserve.
A highlight of our holiday

We had a wonderful time at Tala Game Reserve. Our guide, Tammy, waited for us due to our late arrival into Durban cruise port and he was very knowledgeable, funny and helpful during the tour of the reserve. Would highly recommend this tour, particularly with Tammy.
Great Safari

Driver spoke excellent English. He was very knowledgeable about his country and the game preserve. he was patient in trying to locate animals in the game preserve. When we wanted to expand his time in the city, he made contact with his manager, had it approved. Wonderful driver--very safe..
Awesome Tala Tour.

Rennie was our guide for a fun filled day! We were late getting off the cruise ship but he was right there when we got off, got us loaded up and headed to Tala. Along the way he showed us various aspects of the city of Durban and some historical highlights. Once at Tala, he lead us through the reserve with tons of info about the different animals. He even took us on a side trip to see even more things. We really got a sense of his love for the city of Durban and greatly appreciated his sincerity.
