We were traveling with Benson. Benson told us a lot and was very nice and open. First we were in the Löwen Park, where you could watch the animals up close. Then we were with the elephants, which we were allowed to touch and put their trunks in our car. Next we went to a bird park where there was an interesting bird show. Then we were in a big park where we could see giraffes, zebras, little monkeys and wild boars, buffalos, birds and rhinos. Most recently we were in the PheZulu Valley. There we got a tour from a local and were able to get to know their culture. From there you had a beautiful view over the 1000 hills valley. In this valley was another reptile park, where we got another tour. There you could touch snakes and small crocodiles and pick them up. Overall it was an incredible day. Between the parks one could marvel at the beautiful landscapes.

I had an incredible adventure with Zulu Safaris. Starting from the tour booking - despite last minute request, Mr. Sotiris responded quickly and managed all the arrangements. Freddy was my guide for the half day Safari tour. He was very punctual (picked me up on time), polite, humorous, and friendly. A lover of animals, I could not have imagined all that I experienced!! Once again, thank you so much. A very happy customer.

Splendid tour! Sortiris is a very experienced guide with a lot of knowledge! We spend a perfect full day tour even though the weather was not quite nice. Zhulu traditions are a must such as Tala Game Reserve

I actually didn't go. i had to cancel. I'm sure that it would have been great!
