Great experience - Great experience! Joseph was amazing. Picked us up from a location chosen by us. We had enough time for a breakfast, lunch and browsing the shops between the safari tours.

Wonderful experiences! Safe, interesting and thrilling. - Our drivers were so cheerful and knowledgeable, and helped us all to feel comfortable for the whole trip. They were both very careful drivers and helped us to feel safe. The first stop was the lion park, and the weather had been wet so the road was rutty and puddly, but the drivers, Kimba and Xolani, were very careful to make the drive around as safe as possible. We saw lions close by, and interacting together which was thrilling! The elephants were so friendly and it was great to get close to them. Tala reserve was amazing! Kimba helped us to get the best seats on the safari bus, and our tour guide and driver, Milton, made the trip around the reserve so entertaining. Not only that, with his witty remarks, but he was very knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them. When we saw a tower of giraffes in the distance, he managed to bring us right by them. There were many species to see, all in their natural habitat, and it was wonderful to see zebras, various deer, wildebeest and rhino all grazing in close proximity to each other peacefully. We humans could learn a lot from them! Phezulu was a lovely place to visit, the dancing presentation was fantastic and so entertaining in spite of the rain that came in the afternoon. The food there was delicious and more than adequate portions. The reptiles were fascinating too! We would definitely recommend the tour led by Africa Sun Safaris to anyone wanting a great sightseeing experience, knowing we were so well looked after and kept safe all day, to enjoy all the activities. On the way home one of the cars broke down and our two drivers worked so well together to keep us safe, and deliver us back to our accommodation as quickly as possible. All in all it was a fantastic day’s experience and a trip of a lifetime!

A great all day trip - The Tala Game Reserve was very interesting and we saw a variety of animals at close range. We moved on to Lion Park and saw elephants which we could touch which was fairly tame but in the wild. We also saw a pride of Lions which were walking in front of and all around our vehicle. We got some great pictures. Lastly we went to the Phezulu village and saw the Zulu show and village which was fascinating. We then saw the crocodiles, snakes etc in the nearby animal reserve. The whole day was fascinating and our guide “Blessing” was great.

Great trip! - It was a great day, we had a fantastic guide Joseph who took us to all three parks. The Tala Game Reserve is truly stunning, we saw hippos, giraffes, gnus, and a lot of other animals. The natal lion park was somewhat more like a zoo, as was the reptiles area in the Phezulu. Nevertheless, it was worth the experience. Only "minus" point was, that we had booked a private trip, but were clubbed together with two other passengers. That was not bad, but not exactly as we had booked. Still we would do it again! Special thanks again to Joseph!

Good basic safari experience and depressing zoo - Tala is ok if you gave not taken a proper safari in one if the big national parks. It gives you an idea of what it is but without the big 5. You can see giraffes, zebras, ostriches, hippos, wildebeasts, rinos in quite a reduced space and close to Durban. No need for long drives. The Lion Park is a clear no-go place. A zoo with sad animals in cages. I got very despressed to see them in such condition. So 4-star for the Tala and zero for Lion Park. Average: 2 star However if you have been to Kruger, Hluhlue or the like, no need to invest time on Tala.
