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.
