Best safari ever

alan_b, Mar 2025

Our guide Zamani told us to buy apples to feed the elephants, inspiring!, spent quite a bit of time feeding them then hung with a lioness for a while, exhilarating, did not have to deal with crowded jeeps saw everything from the comfort of a front seat in a comfortable car, saw more animals than I can name including a crash of rhinos! Wonderful, best guide ever!

Must do

Absolutely wonderful trip of a lifetime. Tour guide was so educational and friendly. We would do this tour again.

Amazing day with the animals

This was a great experience. Jumani was an amazing guide and gave us a great overview around the history of Durban. Best part was feeding the elephants. Would do this all over again!

AFRO ZULU TOURS GET OUR VOTE!

I apologise for my tardiness in submitting this review. I wanted to give a big shout out to Zamani from Afro Zulu Tours who was our special guide on our tour of Durban and surrounds, including our trip to the Tala Game Reserve. Zamani went and beyond to connect with us in difficult circumstances (because we were travelling on the cruise ship Queen Mary 2 and had no internet or local phone communications). He was the best storyteller I have ever met and kept us enthralled by his account of Zulu history while managing to show us many fascinating highlights of Durban city and surrounds. I believe Zamani provided a far superior experience to that provided to many of the other Queen Mary 2 passengers. Bravo Zamani you are the best! My husband Graham and I wish you every success in the future!
