    A visit to Tala Game Reserve offers a serene and intimate safari experience in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal. This private reserve is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and numerous species of antelope and birds. Tala’s smaller size allows for easy wildlife viewing and a relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for first-time safari-goers or families. Guests can enjoy a guided game drive. The picturesque setting, with acacia thornveld, open plains, and wetlands, offers stunning photo opportunities and peaceful encounters with nature. Whether you're there for a half-day adventure or a longer stay, Tala Game Reserve delivers an unforgettable bush experience. Please note: In the event that Tala Game Reserve is un-available on the day of your tour, the game safari will instead take place at the nearby Gwahumbe Game Reserve, which offers a similar experience and quality of wildlife viewing.

At the summit, you’ll cross the South Africa–Lesotho border and stand at Africa’s highest pass, where the famed Highest Pub in Africa awaits. Enjoy panoramic mountain views, dine at altitude, and visit a traditional Basotho village to sample local bread, interact with community members, and learn about their customs and way of life.
