    Durban was one of the ports we stopped at while cruising the South Africa coast. We went on a day tour to Tala Game Reserve and Phe-Zulu Safari Park with Tim Brown Tours.
    It was a great day of adventure. Siba was a great and very knowledgeable guide, told us a lot of interesting things about animals, and also about local culture and traditions.
    Would recommend Tim Brown Tours and Siba to everyone with no hesitation.

    We booked this safari because we didn’t have much time in Durban and even though it was only half a day we were able to see so much! Our tourguide Freddy was really friendly and could answer all our questions. During the safari he knew exactly where to look for the animals we were trying to see. I would really recommend this tour.

    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!

    We used Endless Summer Tours in February and went to the Tala Game Reserve. We had the best time. Rhys was a great guide. He made sure we had great views of all the animals and he made the time searching for animals. This was a wonderful tour. I would highly recommend this company.

    Another great Game reserve to visit and explore. We enjoy the drive through hills and dirt road. saw Giraffe, Zebra and other animals just in front of us. it is so close. truly amazing experience. Try to come early in the morning as the temperature still low and you will see the best of it. This Game reserve have a big lake.

    We had a fantastic time on this tour. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, and the sites we visited were both historically rich and incredibly picturesque. Our guide was excellent—he helped us choose the perfect route to maximize our time and experience. His knowledge and flexibility made the entire day enjoyable and seamless. By the end of the tour, we felt enriched and very happy with our decision. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable day out from Durban!

    The tour was totally overpriced. It cost € 180 per person and was not worth more than €60. We are extremely well travelled people who have quite a lot of safari and your experience. I have even organized such tours in Namibia and South Africa for small groups of photographers. We we were highly disappointed. Our driver was okay. He drove safely. Unfortunately I did not see that Get your guide was offering the same tour including the cultural village and the reptile house whereas we were expected to pay extra. The safari tour was just a drive round an enclosed area. Definitely nothing for experienced safari travellers.
