Tala Game Reserve
Tala Private Game Reserve, just a 45-minute drive inland of
Durban, is a relaxed sanctuary where visitors can view zebra,
hippos, rhinos, giraffe, kudu, antelope and other wildlife.
Surrounded on all sides by farmland, you won't find predators like
lions or cheetahs there, but Tala is a great day trip for those who
can't rough it in the bigger parks like Umfolozi or Kruger. The
restaurant is excellent, offering plated of buffet-style meals with
African flair, and the various luxury accommodations are perfect
for romantic getaways. It's also a popular venue for weddings and
conferences. Tala allows self-drive safaris, which don't have to be
booked in advance, or you can opt to be taken on a two-hour trips
with a knowledgeable guide, either by 4x4 or on horseback.
