Hello and welcome to Durban! My name is Paul and I'm a true Durbanite! Sun, great warm sea and Golden beaches, what more can you ask for? I love the warm climate we have and the proximity to so many great tour venues. I've been living in Durban since I was 13. I've grown up with a love for the outdoors. Camping, fishing, cooking are a few of the things that excite me. I'm a great Sports enthusiast with Rugby at the top of my list. I'm a nature specialist and my passion goes way back to my childhood. I attended a boarding school in the mountains in amongst the farms and quickly learnt about wildlife. All things natural are special to me from grasses and insects to the magnificent Elephants and Mountains. Although I can follow a routine I like to be flexible, especially with private groups. I'm passionate about the Durban Safaris I run but also the Durban Day tours like Durban city Tours and Valley Of 1000 Hills. Guiding to me is a passion, not just a cool way to make a living! Come take a ride with Me and we will discover a few things, new and magical, together. FGASA level 1 NQF level 4, Nature and Cultural registered with edtea registered with Ezemvelo My vehicle holds up to 9 passengers but it's more comfortable with 6. Larger vehicle can be arranged Open Safari vehicle comes with qualified drivers so cannot drive them. I'm only fluent in English, although I can have a conversation in Afrikaans.

Overview of your Durban tour
Leaving Durban Or Richards Bay with return transfers 6:30 am. We board our comfortable air-conditioned mini bus and travel 3 hours northwards to the Hluhluwe Game Reserve. I will drive you along the coast northwards and explain the beginnings of Durban, the local industries and some Zulu culture. Once there the game drive begins and from the start it's looking for not only the "Big5" but all the other amazing animals. Giraffes, zebras, elephants, cheetahs, lions are just a few of what you might see. This will be a 6 hour Safari drive! There will be a break for lunch in the form of a Bush braai (Barbecue). This will be at 1 of the many scenic picnic sites. The return leg will stop at a community market with wonderful fresh fruit and veg and hand crafted curios. *Please note. No animals are guaranteed as this is a wildlife reserve!* Please note, closed vehicle safaris can be organized. This would be in the Toyota Quantum Mini van. Please contact me for details.
