Unfortunately not a nice trip

Unfortunately, the trip did not go where it was supposed to go. No sign of Lion Park .The car a small car was not suitable for the safari. The guide told a lot about his family and the "multiple women" but not about Durban himself .

Operator response

Das ist völlig falsch. Die Tour führte tatsächlich ins Tala-Wildreservat und in den Natal-Nationalpark. Aufgrund der Anwesenheit von Tierärzten konnten keine Löwen gesichtet werden, weshalb dieser Bereich an diesem Tag geschlossen war.

Lions not included in this experience.

All in all a great day at Tala game reserve. Got very close up with Giraffes, Zebras, Rhinos. Our driver Umzwe was a delight, and got us safely to and from the parks. However, it was disappointing once arriving at “Lion Park” to find out they don’t have lions anymore. They have been moved to the zoo. This was a huge bummer as we were excitedly expecting to see them today as stated in this excursion. Please update the listing Viator.

Enjoyed the day

Enjoyed the time with the animals in the Lion Park and Tala Game Reserve. The end of the tour was a little disjointed and clearer direction was needed. The driver was excellent and the guide could have been a bit more engaging with the group.
