Tala Game Reserve: Safari in the African Bush
The journey begins with a short drive inland to Tala Private Game Reserve, a beautiful natural sanctuary located just outside Durban. Though compact in size, Tala is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, wildebeest, kudu, and antelope, along with more than 300 bird species. On a guided game drive, you’ll explore the reserve’s mix of grasslands, wetlands, and acacia forests, offering excellent photographic opportunities and a peaceful safari atmosphere away from the crowds. The reserve is also malaria-free, making it an accessible option for all visitors.
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.
