Saw all the big five on the first day and every day thereafter. This safari was my trip life experience, well beyond a vacation. Being able to be within reach of all the big five will always be remembered.
Safari Operator Performance
Extensive knowledge of both the USA guide and African guide. They anticipated our every need.Accommodation
Mala Mala Camp, situated in the Sabi Sands private game reserve.All the meals were plentiful, well prepared, had a mix of native and traditional fare and an excellent variety.
We had one breakfast in the bush. How perfectly everything went.
