Safarinut, not to threadjack or anything, but have you had a look at Taga Safaris website in the last couple days?

In the Leopards Of Simbambili section Mark from Taga Safaris was fortunate enough to personally spot five leopards on a single game drive. There are some very good pictures there, as well. That is enough to convince me...I will likely spend four nights at Simbambili and four nights at Mala Mala.

Both Simbambili and Mala Mala are relative bargains in compared to some of the other Sabi Sand lodges, and may offer as good, if not better, game viewing than the other more expensive lodges, as well.

I can hardly wait! :)

We have slowly narrowed down the lodge for our group..Of Tinga, Royal Walewane and Singita which is #1?

Roccco

Yes,I scan the Taga Safari website everyday...amazing!

Roccco, Simbambili and Mala Mala would be an excellent combination.Mala Mala will give you a more ''Real Africa'' feel as Simbambili is located close to the fence of the NE corner of the SSGR.Still,I would visit Simbambili in a heartbeat again!

Good luck on your planning, I know you will create a masterpiece!!

singita would be first choice due to ;ocation, but last for cost effectiveness, Royal malewane is stunning and Tinga is new and absolutly phenomenal you cannot go wrong with any one of them!
