Depart from Durban at 8am and head to Tala Game Reserve for a game drive. A game drive in Tala Game Reserve is an exceptional safari experience, bringing travelers close to South Africa's vibrant wildlife. Spanning over 3,000 hectares of serene landscapes, Tala is renowned for its diverse ecosystem of open plains, acacia thornveld, and wetlands, creating a perfect habitat for a rich array of animals. Wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike can encounter a variety of species, from large game like giraffes, rhinos, and hippos to smaller antelope species, including impalas and elands. Zebras, wildebeests, and a variety of bird species add to the richness of the reserve, making each game drive a journey of discovery. Please note: In the event that Tala Game Reserve is un-available on the day of your tour, the game safari will instead take place at the nearby Gwahumbe Game Reserve, which offers a similar experience and quality of wildlife viewing.

We do visit Natal Park to see elephants. Natal Park offers a captivating wildlife experience just outside Pietermaritzberg, allowing visitors to get close to some of Africa’s most iconic animals in a safe, accessible environment. The park is home to a variety of birds and plants and tree species.
