A pleasant day in Tala. Excellent pick up, despite ship docking late. Driver was pleasant and knowledgeable
Benson our guide and driver fully committed himself to making this a very special day and we got to see everything we hoped to see. Would highly recommend!
Joseph picked us up at the cruise terminal. In a small car, unfortunately not air-conditioned, he drove us first to the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban and told us a lot. Continue to the Botanical Garden. Here, a staff member from the garden offered to drive us in a “golf cart” and explained everything great. We liked it very much and the extra charge of 200 Rand we paid gladly. Then continue to Tala Game Reserve, about 60 min. Here we had a break and with 4 other guests we drove through the game reserve in an open jeep and saw a variety of wildlife. Again in Durban Joseph took us to the seafront and we were still able to walk there. For us a successful excursion in English.
The driver was very accommodating when our ship was delayed entering the port. However after the game park we were unable to do any of the other activities listed. The gardens were partially closed for an evening event and by the time we arrived the Spice market was closed.
