Tala Collection Game Reserve, by Dream Resorts Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed our immersive two day visit to Tala which clearly has an abundance of game. It was only on arrival that we discovered the properties have no facilities for self catering. However the staff were always helpful and responsive to our food and hospitality requests. And we got to experience their marvellous fillet steak! The main tracks around the reserve are mostly fine for normal road cars but the side tracks can be challenging for even a full-size SUV, as we discovered. Puddles can be deep! So great care needs to be taken if you are navigating with the mud map provided. The great thing about Tala is that it is a world away, but conveniently close, to the city. The lack of fridge or air con is a pity and load shedding doesn’t help. But the sights and sounds of the bush are ample compensation. Early morning produced exciting visits from monkeys and buck. Even a fully grown giraffe called by making our last morning especially memorable.
