Leave Durban before sunrise for two ranger-led game drives in a private reserve, with chances to spot the iconic Big 5.

About this tour

Leave Durban before sunrise for a full-day safari in a private game reserve, where a ranger tracks wildlife across the landscape. Early mornings offer a chance to spot animals when they are active, and the open safari vehicle brings you closer to the sights and sounds of the bush.

After a briefing on game-drive etiquette, head out for a three-hour morning drive. Your ranger follows wildlife activity and recent sightings to help find the best places to look for the Big 5. Pause for lunch, then venture deeper into the reserve for a second three-hour drive focused on different game. Bottled water and binoculars are provided, and multilingual guidebooks are available in English, German, and French. Lunch is not included.

This 14-hour Durban Big 5 Safari combines two guided drives with time to explore a private reserve. Set your alarm, bring your curiosity, and spend the day looking for Africa’s most celebrated wildlife on a Durban Big 5 Safari.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.90 from 31 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Ocean City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.6. Top 20% in Ocean City means it ranks in the top 20% of tours in Ocean City by this score.
