4 day safari and hippo cruise

This was our second trip with Trevor and it exceeded all our expectations. His knowledge of the area and wildlife made for a fantastic safari. Accommodation and catering were excellent. Can’t wait for our next trip x

Response from the operator: Hi Steve, Thank you for the kind words. We cant wait to host you and Sandra in 2021. Trevor

Great experience

My boyfriend and I did this tour with Trevor and we had a wonderful time. He guided us through the park to meet many animals and we really enjoyed his delicious cooking.

The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Durban.

How much does The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest cost?

+

Prices start at $23500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Durban usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Durban is not rushed.

Is The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Durban, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Durban can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Durban and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does The Best of Zululand's Big 5 reserves - For the Discerning guest start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Durban within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Durban?

+

On Outty we rank every Durban experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Culture Walking Tour of Durban, Sani Pass & Lesotho 4x4 Experience Day Tour from Durban, Discover Rorkes Drift on our Day Tour from Durban. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Durban?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Durban?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
