Greater Durban Safaris

Durban itself is the central ‘hub’ with the newly built King Shaka International Airport (opening 01 May 2010) there are daily flights between Cape Town, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth as well as a number of international arrivals.

There is a good selection of ‘big five’ reserves situated within an easy 2 – 4 hours drive from Durban. Most of the reserves are also an easy 2 hour drive from the coastal region with warm Indian Ocean and white beaches, making this a perfect destination for a ‘Bush & Beach’ safari experience.
