Liselle’s guests have reported back after their tailor-made safari in the Sabi Sand and Timbavati Reserves in the Greater Kruger Park area of South Africa. They visited Simbambili Game Lodge and Tanda Tula Safari Camp, enjoyed special treatment from the staff and admired a wild array of animals. Here’s what they had to say:
“Hi Liselle,
Sorry for the delayed response–just getting back into the swing of things after our trip. The safari was incredible!!! the people/staff at Tanda Tula and Simbambili were very kind and accommodating and our trackers were incredibly knowledgeable and awesome!!! Though different, the accommodations at both camps were perfect, and the chefs were fantastic as well. Both camps also orchestrated for us to have a private dinner–surprising us with flowers, candles, and champagne!!
We saw a lot of animals, every day!!! We were able to see elephant herds, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, wild dogs, warthogs, buffalo, kudu, steenbok, antelope, baboons, monkeys. On several occasions, we saw a mother lion with her cubs, and some male lions tracking, killing, and eating a buffalo. We also saw a pair of leopards killing an impala, and then also mating the following day. At each camp, the tracker took us on a short hike through the bush to get a closer look at some tracks, plants and trees, and smaller insects and animals.
I really liked visiting two different game reserves and getting a different feel from both. Although we saw a lot of the same animals, the terrain was a bit different. Both places were fantastic though. I have included some pictures from Simbambili and Tanda Tula.
Thank you so much for planning such a great trip for us!!! It was a wonderful experience and we’re telling everyone and anyone we know that they must go as well!!
Best,
Erin and Brad”
