Would not have missed this day with Tim Brown tours

We had a wonderful experience with Sibo from Tim Brown Tour, doing a day safari at Tala reserve. Saw lots of different kinds of birds. Lots of impala s, water buck s . rino s, wildebeest, monkey, zebra, and giraffe s, and so much more.

A totally diferent experience of zoo. You are looking for animals in their natural enviroment, nothing is cartain!

Nov 2023 • Friends

It was an amazing tour. We used a jeep style car in very good condition. Cibo, our driver was a very careful driver, very polite and communicative. He was very updated about the reserve and he did his best to satisfy us. Many animals and birds in a beautiful area. However, lions did not do us the favour.... next time....

Fantastic day tour that felt like a real adventure

Fantastic day tour in which I learnt so much about South Africa, it’s people, culture and its animals from Thabo.

Saw a large variety of animals in the park and has an absolutely fantastic day.

Thabo was punctual, informative and above all very friendly and knowledgable.

Driving was extremely safe but very efficient.

Thabo Let myself and a fellow member of the tour dictate what we wanted to do and could honestly answer all our questions.

Recommended!!!!

Thank you Thabo!

An interesting and moving experience aided by a first class guide. Met and exceeded expectations despite a slight hiccup over initial accommodation arrangements that was quickly resolved.

Mind blowing adventure!!

Great communication when booking and follow up.

Guide perfectly on time, friendly, knowledgeable and didn’t rush the tour at all.
Knew the park well and where to look for all the beasties.

Super clean and comfortable vehicles and plenty of stops for drinks, lunch and loo breaks.

Couldn’t have gone smoother and I would highly recommend Tim and his team.

Perfect Safarie Experience

Aug 2023 • Solo

The day with Sibo, my guide, was just perfect! Sibo is easy to talk to, a perfect guide, experienced and safe driver and a great animal spotter. I enjoyed the breathtaking landscape and seeing the animals in their natural habitat. Don't hesitate - just book, it is more than worth it.

Bom dia! Tem guia que fala português? É melhor comprar os passeios antes ou na hora mesmo? Quais são os.melhores? Alimentação nos safáris, tem que levar ou eles param em algum restaurante?

Durban, South Africa56 contributions

Hi, It is always better to book in advance. We can try and find a Portuguese speaking guide but it will increase the cost of the tour. I would recommend the 3 day safari and the 3 Drakensberg tours, both of which can be found on our website. Meals we include excepting lunch but we always ensure there is a place for you to get lunch. If you can send me your email address I can send more details. Kind regards Tim

Dear Tim Brown Tours, We are arriving in Durban on Monday 20th October 2017. We are interested in the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve day safari for Tuesday 1st November 2017. Can you please confirm that we would be collected and returned to our hotel, is the 5-6 hours time spent at the location or does this include travel time, the cost for two persons in a open top vehicle and closed vehicle as part of your group, would you require a deposit and how much, if so, do we pay the balance on the day and do you have availability for the Tuesday? I would be grateful for an early response so we can book the tour. Michelle.
