Hi everyone. My name is Shelldon, and I am a qualified guide based in the city of Durban, on the east coast of South Africa. I was incredibly fortunate to have been raised in a family that loved the bush, it meant wonderful family holidays to the various parks and reserves in South Africa, from the big game reserves like the Kruger National Park, to the smaller parks like the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. It's this memorable childhood that sparked my interest in conservation and wildlife. This interest continued to develop throughout my schooling career, leading me to join any course I could that had anything remotely to do with conservation. I was also lucky to have enjoyed many school holidays at wildlife camps being taught the very basics about conservation, as well as tracking. I've also had a very keen interest in history, and have become extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of South Africa and in particular, the history of Durban. I've also become quite an expert in the British-Zulu battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal and regularly take visitors on tours to the area. I plan all my tours with the comfort and safety of visitors in mind. I realise that many visitors have travelled many miles to get to Durban, whether by ship or plane, and they deserve the best service and the best experience I can offer.

Experience the best of Durban with a half day tour to the expansive Tala Game Reserve just 60 min west of Durban. Spend the morning viewing a variety of antelope such as kudu, hippo, giraffe, wildebeest, eland, and other animals. Tala Game Reserve is also well known for it's amazing variety of bird life with over 360 species of bird counted in the summer months! Included is a stop at the picnic site in Tala where you can admire the animals and scenery while trying some local snacks like biltong, koeksisters and more. My half day tour to Tala Game Reserve from Durban is the best way for those with limited time to experience a bit of the African wildlife.
I'll collect you from your accommodation in the Durban or surrounding areas at 8:30am. From there we head directly to Tala about an hour away. Once at Tala we'll spend around 3 hours game spotting as well as have a short break in the park for snacks. At 12:30pm we'll depart back for Durban, arriving at around 1:30pm.
