Tala Private game reserve and Phezulu Safari park – Zulu Cultural village and Reptile park 4/4/2014

After collecting my clients from Zimbali estate where they were staying after winning an Oakley competition after purchasing Sunglasses thanks to True Collection group, we headed to Tala Private game reserve for our Day Safari Tour from Durban.

Having just moved home I realised I forgot my camera which was really stupid as when ever that happens great things are scene in on the Day Safari Tour at Tala.

It was true to form as  we saw a male Ostrich going to the Toilet which sound crazy but it is amazing as being a Bird they have a Cloaca which is basically one hole for everything. This means his male organ needs to come out before he can defecate. I of course had no camera so missed the moment but the clients from Cape Town got it.

Later we also saw South africas national bird the Blue Crane which is endangered!

We had amazing Rhino sightings on this Safari Tour from Durban as well as great giraffe, Zebra, Blesbok, Wildebeest, Impala, Kudu, Warthog and even a Brown chested snake eagle and long crested eagle.

We were really blessed as even the Hippos were in the Dam on this Durban Day Safari Tour to Tala private game reserve.

Ive added a picture but it wasnt from this Durban Day Safari Tour but does show what we saw.

Tala and Valley 1000 Hills Tour

 Phezulu Safari Park and reptile park.

In the afternoon after a great Lunch at the Boma restaurant with great views we headed into the Zulu Cultural Village overlooking the Valley of 1000 Hills. We entered into the Zulu Huts to learn a bit more about Zulu Culture and customs before the 2pm Zulu Dancing. This was amazing as always and even more so that it  was just us there!

They Reptile park was great too and we enjoyed the crocodiles and Snakes as a distance on this Durban Day Safari Tour.

After this it was time to get the clients back to Zimbali for a Braai with Greg and the Team.

They really enjoyed this little taste of Durban in the Day that we had to take this Safari Tour.
