Location:
Tala Private Game Reserve, situated close to Durban on South Africa's east coast, features
an interesting mix of thorn trees and open grassland that supports a diversity of wildlife and offers
good opportunities for taking
pictures of resident birdlife plus giraffe, zebra and a variety of antelope.
Tala is unique in that it is surrounded by farms and other development, yet much of this is
hidden once you are in the game reserve. The animals have grown accustomed to vehicles, so you
don't need a long telephoto lens. The reserve is situated in a malaria-free area.
