This past weekend I had another opportunity to show some visitors to Durban why the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve has to be one of the best parks to visit in the country! We started our Big 5 privates overnight safari on Saturday morning at 7am and headed to our first Read more…
We’ve been so fortunate to be busy over the last few months, so much so that just finding the time to update the blog can be a little difficult. I had only just finished my recent overnight safari tour to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve when I got a last minute request to conduct another overnight tour. Of course I said yes right away since I love to show off KZN, and so with a pretty quick turn around, I picked up my clients from their Umhlanga Protea Hotel and we headed off on our overnight safari tour from Durban.

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.

I would say that the most popular tour we offer at Country and Coastal Touring is the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve 2 Night Tour. Lately we’ve been inundated with requests to book this tour, and based on the great sightings we’ve had lately at the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve it’s Read more…
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.

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…
It’s probably the one tour I do 95% of the time, a day tour from Durban to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. On Thursday I collected my 2 clients from their hotel on the Durban beachfront (aka the Golden Mile) and started the long drive to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game 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…
