Creator's Key Takeaways

If you want to see the big five, some dancing, some cultural places to visit, this is one cool place to go to.

Our guide and driver were absolutely amazing, and they took the time to really explain all the different animals and gave us plenty of viewing time.

This alone was worth the trip to Africa to see these huge elephants.

Overall, we had a great time in Durban and we highly recommend it if you see a cruise itinerary with South Africa.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If visiting the Natal Lion Park, you should have a 4x4 rental vehicle.
When driving in a park, avoid driving over elephant dung to protect dung beetles.
