Durban safari to remember
I met my clients for their “Durban safari to remember “off the Ocean Nautica ship that docked in Durban. We were to visit Tala game reserve and Phezulu safari park. The plan …
Phezulu Cultural Village
- Entertainment by Zulu Dancers & Singers
- Experience more of the Zulu Culture by entering their huts.
I also took my clients for a tour around the reptile park before the Zulu cultural village tour.

After enjoying the great Zulu dancers and the Zulu culture we made our way onward through the valley of 1000 hills. What spectacular views! The valley of 1000 hills is indeed a beautiful area!
Then we headed off to Tala game reserve for our safari part of the tour.
We entered at the gate and some of the clients decided they wanted an open vehicle game drive so we tried to make a last minute plan without success.
This turned out to be a good thing as the weather clouded over and it got very cold ~ 15 degrees ~ and later it rained.
We were very lucky as later we also spotted a Black Backed Jackal which is a rare sighting at Tala game reserve!

We continued with our Durban safari tour and spotted a lot of animals including; Ostrich, Blessbok, Kudu, Warthogs and many more.

It was not long before we found the Rhino that we had been looking for!
Rhinos have their own guards these days!
These days at Tala game reserve after incidents of poaching, the Rhinos have guards which monitor them through the day and with radio transmitter collars.

Our Durban safari continued on and we found some great looking Zebra which were close to the road. And later even some that crossed the road in front of us. A real Zebra crossing!

It was not long before we made our way down to the dam and found some Hippos resting in the water. The best part of this was that the big male was mating! You don’t see this every day on a Durban safari tour.
Hippo mating – truly a rare sighting on Safari
Moving along with our Durban safari we eventually spotted some Giraffe and first it was a couple of males and then later a Journey of Giraffe with some youngsters.

So this was now the end of another great African safari tour. We were caught in a torrential down pour of rain so we made our way out of the Tala game reserve carefully. And in just under an hour were back at the ship to drop the clients off.
