Excursion Tala safari with dinner tour at Durban
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Hidden in the KwaZulu-Natal hills is the wildlife conservancy of Tala Private Game Reserve, an area of indigenous acacia thornveld, open grassland and sensitive wetland that provides an exceptional environment in which to game and bird watch.
Depart Durban quayside and drive towards Tala Private Game Reserve for an open vehicle drive to see the incredible wildlife living here. Tala is the reserve to visit out of Durban, providing visitors with superb game viewing experiences in open game vehicles with highly knowledgeable and experienced rangers and a tracker who will not fail to impress you with his bush skills. At Tala, the aim is to get you close to nature, interacting with the environment and animals, and experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of the African bush.
The reserve, that spans nearly 3,000 hectares and incorporates many diverse natural environments, features well over 300 bird species, with big game that includes rhino, kudu, hippo, giraffe and the rare sable antelope.
Several distinctive and remarkable plant species are also found on Tala. The fiery aloe in full bloom, the imposing euphorbia and the smell of the fragrant wild sage on a dewy morning make for wonderful vivid memories.
ON your return, refreshments (tea/coffee & scones/muffins) are served with some time provided to browse through the curio shop.
