Tala
Tala Private Game Reserve is a wildlife conservancy hidden in the hills of a quiet farming community not far from Durban in KwaZulu-Natal and not too bad a location for a wedding!
Amazing game viewing drives around the reserve both daytime and Night, prior to the main event, so many photo opportunites although the Rhino presenetd a major distraction when they turned up at the lodges after the reception around 1am. A curious sight to behold. Humans in their wedding finery in the bush, waiting for the Rangers to convince the Rhino herd t omove so everyone could get to bed!.
One of the big 5 in Africa, not a creature to get on the wrong side of the African Buffalo is widely regarded as a very dangerous animal, as it gores and kills several people every year.(Respect)Herds of these roam the reserve and make for some impressive pictures..(400mm Lens a must to stay well back)
The Groom to be... working off some nerves I guess hanging out and trying to put up a good show at Rugby with the South African's.

More formally dressed with some last minute advice from the best man! Not sure what was said but Chris looks surprised!Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Another International Wedding
The assembly point for all the intrepid travellers to the second international family wedding in 2007 was Pumula resort on the South Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal Province. . All were spoilt by this wonderful location overlooking the Indian Ocean. 
Super at the Indian Ocean
With the rain not about to let up, we headed out to meet some of the local wild life. Croc World in Scottburgh, where you can see Man vs Croc during an athletic Croc Egg removal procedure. They may look mean and aggressive however apparently, as we observed small men with really big sticks can keep them under control. When you get bored of them looking at you as a prospective lunch,you can always go and eat parts of them in the restaurant.
A bluff charge(Perhaps) just to establish who is closer the top of the food chain!

A room with a view... A moment to reflect on as the temperature here starts heading south to -30C
Relaxing before the Big Event, a rare family picture
