“Shane had a fantastic tour planned for me. I got to see so many beautiful animals and their babies. The game drive was so nice and laid back. Private car and guide is the best way to take a game drive. Shane explained all about the animals and did his best to find as many as possible to show me. The second part of the day we visited The Cradle of Humankind cave and museum. The oldest fissile ever found was found in the cave. The cave was very beautiful and definitely historic. I would highly recommend this tour and other tours provided by Shane’s tour guide company. You will…”

“We had a wonderful time during our visit to Lion & Safari Park. We were conveniently picked up at our hotel by the Phillipians 4 four tour driver and taken to the park. Our driver was friendly and polite and it was about an hour's drive. Once we arrived we were loaded onto another vehicle driven by the Lion & Safari Park guide and taken to various gated areas around the property.

Review of the Tala Game Reserve and Natal Lion Park half-day tour from Durban, with wildlife highlights, timing, value, and practical booking advice.
“Point 1. The organizer didn't even introduce himself in the morning... Point 2. The guide and the bus driver had no local knowledge... Point 3. The guide didn't introduce himself or speak to us either. Point 4. When we arrived at the park, the organizer and his guide were surprised at how busy it was and that the park was overbooked. We were driven through the park in closed buses... When we asked why we didn't drive in open jeeps... the guide just said either the bus or back on the ship!!!!! We hardly saw any animals... because the bus can't drive off the main path... Only the off-road jeeps…”
