Singita - Who has been?
 
My husband and I are very interested in going to Singita. A few questions:<BR><BR>1. Best time to go (weather/animal viewing?)<BR>2. How long to stay? (Will we get bored?)<BR>3. Difference between Boulders & Ebony?<BR>4. Other not to miss destinations we could tie in - Cape Town, Sechylles etc.<BR><BR>THANK YOU!

We visited Seychelles, Mauritius and Zanzibar and Zanzibar would be my choice #1, then Mauritius. I would forget Seychelles. It is overpriced and not as great as some people say. There are many other places much better than Seychelles

Mary,<BR><BR>My husband and I will be staying at Singita next February. Everything that I have read about it has been outstanding. Singita is a member of the Relais Chateaux group along with Londolozi (we are staying there also!) in the Kruger area. The first link below is their official website, the second is a site that showed a lot of pictures of Singita when I was researching.<BR><BR>http://www.singita.com/<BR><BR>http://www.bluedtravel.com/singita/<BR><BR>The travel agent we booked through was Africa-Adventure Company. They came HIGHLY recommended to us by several people. The owner has traveled extensively throughout Africa and has written several guides. <BR><BR>On his website http://www.africa-adventure.com/index01.html you can find several useful tips, such as best times to view game in which parks, etc.<BR><BR>Pam<BR>

I agree with Trish about Seychellues. Nothing amazing but OK.
