Tala Game Reserve is a luxury travel destination and nature reserve in South Africa where visitors can view game and also host an elaborate wedding, unique honeymoon, business conference or other type of social gathering. The private wildlife sanctuary claims its location near the city of Durban as malaria-free, a boon when many areas of the continent are home to mosquitoes that carry the disease. Guests of the Tala Game Reserve can see nearly 400 different bird species and large numbers of giraffes, buffaloes, rhinos, antelopes and hippos.

The game reserve encompasses more than 3,000 hectares (7,413.16 acres) and is made up of a mixture of terrain types, from grasslands to acacia tree thornvelds to wetlands, leading to a varied game viewing experience. Various methods of nature viewing are offered, including walks on horseback or from a vehicle, and even along a bush walk, with guides provided to lead the way. There are no predators in Tala Game Reserve, so the animals on display, although still in the wild, are more susceptible to humans and their desire to photograph the various game species. Visitors who want to see lions are within driving distance of a nearby lion park.

Safari tourists to this protected area have the chance to encounter resident herds of the impressive sable antelope. Their long manes lead to a comparison with horses, especially when they try to show their dominance over another animal by arching their necks. The sable antelope’s horns can be up to 65 inches (1.65 meters) long and can weigh up to 500 pounds (226.79 kilograms).

Tala Game Reserve has five luxury lodges to accommodate guests who prefer magnificent views of the African savannah to accompany chef-prepared meals and fine wines. The reserve can also accommodate guests in half a dozen smaller cottages. Tala Game Reserve is also home to an education center offering day trips and overnight learning programs for local schoolchildren. Children’s tours are also available for traveling students from overseas.
