Excellent trip! We had a terrific cheerful and knowledgeable guide. We saw many animals, including giraffes, zebras, blesbucks, wildebeests, impalas, kudus, nyalas, and rhinos. And I was surprised to see a few vervet monkeys and many ostriches.

Wonderful experience. Many animals up- close. Zebras, Rhinos, Ostriches, Deer, Giraffes, Hippos etc…….. The guide was exceptional providing commentary on environment and history of Durban. Worth every penny and more. Vehicle was clean, comfortable and provided AC.

We enjoyed the drive with Rennie, our tour guide, and the park. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the animals in the reserve.
Your was booked for 6 hours we only went for 4.5hrs Only the front seat can hear the driver. Would have been nice to get a little more local culture experience
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.
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.
