Hi! This post is to bump this back to the top and keep the posts coming thru........

The one surprise to me is.......Mala Mala......honestly........i am surprised with the comparisons with Mombo (where did this come from).

Earth Lodge at Sabi Sabi is unique in design and the service, facilities and game viewing are tops.

Phinda Rock Lodge.

Although game viewing may be better elsewhere, and the reserve itself can oaccasionally feel small (you run up against a fence or two on some game drives), the diversity of activities and expereinces offered, the passionate committment to sustainable conservation and the remarkably committed, enthusiastic and professional staff made this cozily luxurious lodge a standout for us.
