Depart from Durban at 7.30am and head to Tala Game Reserve for a Game Drive with one of the experienced guides in Tala who will explain to you about the game reserve itself and the animals around. Tala Private Game Reserve spans over 3,000 hectares of pristine wilderness, offering an unforgettable wildlife experience. Your tour begins with a leisurely drive through the reserve, accompanied by one of the experienced game rangers. Keep your eyes peeled for the rhino - as well as other exciting species such as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and numerous antelope species. As you explore the diverse landscape, your guide will share fascinating insights into the reserve's history, ecology, and wildlife conservation efforts.

From Tala Game Reserve we head to Natal Lion Park for a short but very interesting game drive. Here we see elephants and lions. There is also a huge species of birds. Not to mention the very thick bush with all the indigenous trees.

From Natal Lion Park we go further past Petermaritzburg to Howick. First we visit the Howick Falls which is a 95 metre waterfall. This is a beautiful sight indeed.

From Howick Falls we drive 15 minutes further to Nelson Mandela Capture Site. Here we visit the museum and the world renowned Nelson Mandela monument. Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 outside Howick, Natal, South Africa. He spent the next 27 years of his life in prison. The Nelson Mandela Capture Site commemorates this moment in history with a visitor centre and a world renowned sculpture.

From Nelson Mandela Capture Site we depart and head off to Underberg for the night. Right at the foot of the majestic mountains of the southern Drakensberg, Underberg is a little town that exudes a lot of charm. In fact, it has the kind of ethereal beauty that can only come from looming mountains, lush greenery, and the endless blue of African skies. This part of KwaZulu-Natal is supremely tranquil, but also offers so much in the way of trails and outdoors adventures.
