What people are saying about KwaZulu-Natal

We had a wonderful 1/2 day today accompanied by our guide Benson. Very competent and friendly, picked up on time at the ship and worried about our well-being, he wanted to see us happy and he succeeded. He asked us what we want to see and so we went to Lion Park and Tala Reserve. He brought us safely to the hidden animals in a comfortable and well-sprung off-road vehicle, which we would not have been able to experience on the tourist track. The return trip to the port took place with a small city tour. Taking my walker with me was no problem. We can fully recommend the tour and Mr. Benson. Thanks.

Great guide, funny and informative. It is an experience to get so close to the hippos. Unfortunately, since it was very windy, we could only see a small crocodile. The organization on site worked great.

The driver was very informative. He made us feel very safe as the drive seemed very scary. The views are just breathtaking taking.
