I collected my guests from their hotel at 6am and headed northwards uder some very threatening rain clouds. Although it wasn’t raining when we started off, just 30 minutes lated the heavens opened up and the rain thundered down! This didn’t bode well for our private safari day tour to the Hluhlwue Imfolozi Game Reserve but as I said to my guests, never say die!

i was asked my my most recent clients what animals I considered a favorite in the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. Right away I though about Elephants, Lions, Wild Dog etc, but too be honest, I really don’t have any favorites. I find that whatever animal we see next, becomes my favorite, whether Impala, Rhino, Waterbuck; for me it doesn’t really matter, I guess it’s just the thought that we get to see the animals on our Hluhluwe Imfolozi Overnight Safari Tour.

The last few months have been non-stop with tours. It’s the season for cruise ships so I’ve been running a number of Durban Day Tours and of course Safari’s. It’s so much fun, and I do enjoy my time with clients. We here in Durban have such an interesting city, and too think we’re no further than 45min away from wildlife preserves in all directions must make us pretty unique.

It was a bit of an overcast and dreary start to our 3 day Safari Tour to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. Durban and northern Natal desperately needs the rain at the moment so the promise of a downpour wasn’t unwelcome. So it was under the very heavy overcast skies Read more…
The last few weeks have been extremely busy, with what seems like back to back tours around the beautiful province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. My blogs posts are definitely falling behind because of how busy I am (not complaining though) but I’m going to try catch over the next Read more…
I love doing the 1 day safari tours, but when I get a chance to do an overnight or extended tour it’s all I can do to sleep I get so excited! The Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve is really one of the finest reserves in KwaZulu-Natal that I’ve visited so Read more…
The Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve is just 2,5 hours from Durban and is a fantastic place to enjoy a safari when visiting Durban. On Wednesday last week I collected 4 clients from their Durban beachfront hotel for a Big 5 Durban Safari Day Tour.

I am usually pretty prepared. I have been accused (rightly so sometimes) of leaving things to the last minute. But usually I’m prepared on the day with everything I need for a tour. Except this time. Back to back tours (yes I have an excuse!) meant that I forgot something Read more…
On this Monday past I departed on a Hluhluwe Imfolozi 3 Day Safari Tour from Durban. It was a reasonable time start (for me anyway) with me only having to collect my two clients from Spain at 7:30am, instead of the more usual 6:30am start. Well thanks to roadworks on Read more…
