Excellent trip, driver was great. Views were spectacular, and we had flexibility on how long we stayed in the locations. Wonderful day.

Very disappointing. Our driver repeatedly got lost. After the 4th time we got a flat tire. We did enjoy Tala game reserve, hence the 2 stars, bit instead of 3 hours there we were reduced to 1 hour. Should have been provided with at least a partial refund.

I have visited Phezulu many times throughout my life. First with school, years ago, when it felt a bit sad and neglected. Thankfully, those days have passed and it is now a wonderful experience, especially for children and foreign visitors. We took our son on the little game drive when he was younger to give him a taste of the wildlife and he loved it. We have also been to the reptile section, which is fascinating. In the past, a father and young son used to give amazing snake talks with live snakes which was astonishing to my risk-averse British family! On this occasion, we had very informative guides explaining the crocodile life cycles. But the best by far has to be the lump that you get in the back of your throat when you watch Zulu dancing and singing with the truly stunning backdrop of the Valley of 1000 Hills. It made me very homesick, but proud to show our foreign family. Thanks for a great day, Phezulu! (PS .also great gift shop with charming staff.)

Nice tour, the guides Alain and his wife were delightful company. I wish I could have gotten a more comprehensive history throughout the tour. Overall, I enjoyed the experience very much. I just wish I could have walked more around the city. The botnica garden was nice. But since I love architecture I was hoping to be able to see more historical buildings. Still very insightful experience
Especially the market.

Fabulous.
20' (6m) from elephants, rhinos!, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, endless gazelles and impala. Saw 4 of the fatal 5! Damn leopards were hiding.
Pickup was great.
It's a long day with 3 hours each way.
The Hilltop restaurant for lunch is great. Wish the gift shop would restock.
Tour guide Thomas has been working in the park and knows every road, trail and other guide there. Exceptional person.
So glad that I pulled the trigger. Best part of my stay in South Africa!

Another top day. Again comms during booking and afterwards top drawer. Had a brilliant trip up the estuary and saw loads of hippo and a wild croc which was exactly what the wife wanted to see.
Again, plenty of stops en-route to pick up food, drinks and loo stops which probably could be better mentioned on the website rather than just “lunch not supplied” etc. Be nice to know beforehand that there is opportunity to pick something up on the way.
Would highly recommend Tim and his team.

Awesome trip - Benson was a great guide, very friendly and knew a lot about the local culture and history. Also showed up exactly on time and timed the ascent/descent so that we didn't have to deal with the long lines later on. Definitely recommended and thanks again Benson!

I joined this small group tour in June and had such an amazing day. I was picked up by my guide in Durban promptly at 6am for the long drive but briefly stopped at Pietermaritzburg to learn about the significance of this city. This was where Mahatma Ghandi was thrown off the train, on his way to Pretoria, and later sent to Prison Number Four in Joburg. There is a statue of Ghandi here, and not far from the statue was also the starting point of The Comrades Marathon, which was happening the next day. About 4hrs later, we arrived at the border then made our way up Sani Pass, which was a rough, bumpy, winding drive up the mountains, or as they call it an “African massage”. The views are absolutely spectacular! Our guide took us to a Masotho woman’s home in Sekiring Village in Lesotho, who then prepared some delicious fresh baked bread to share with us. It was great interacting with a local, as she shared her daily life with us. Before driving back to Durban, we had lunch & drinks at the Highest Pub in Africa at Sani Pass, surrounded by beautiful views. It's a long journey to get to Sani Pass & Lesotho but it's definitely worth a day trip!

How long is the driving time to go to Lesotho in the “Sani pass and Lesotho day trip” is it suitable for kids of 10y?

Hello
It is 3 hours from Durban to the bottom of Sani Pass, but then its another 2 hours to get up to Lesotho.
I would not suggest it for a young child.
Rather look at the Mini Safaris day tour.

We had read many wonderful reviews of 1st Zulu Safaris, so we went to the office in Durban today (17th August 2015), wanting to make arrangement for a family trip. We were greeted as if we were disturbing the employee and then ignored. I grabbed a folder from the stand and we left. Very disappointing experience.

Hello
Is it possible for 1st Zulu Safaris to collect a group of 4 adults from cruise ship terminal?
We are in port for one day only and would love an experience we won't forget in Durban and surrounding area.
We dock on 13th April on Queen Mary2. We are more interested in sight-seeing and cultural experiences.
I would really appreciate your reply and look forward to our arrival in Durban.
Kind regards

Hello Yvonne
Apologies for the late reply.
Yes it is very possible. Can you please email us directly.
I suggest we do a variety tour as it will suit your time restrictions.
