Overall, it was a great trip, everyone was very pleased, esp. those who are on their first safari trip. We saw two live kills at Tswalu, one by wild dogs on hartebeest and the other by male cheetah on zebra! So by any means, it is a very lucky trip!
Mala Mala: Indeed very good value for money, our guide Gareth is very experienced and professional and did his best to accommodate our requests of finding different animals.
Tswalu: Price has gone up a lot over recent years but still remain as one of my favorite places! Unlike Sabi Sand, no queue for the sighting which is great, as it is like Botswana! The first morning by the time we got there, the dogs were already feeding on a warthog that they killed earlier, so we got up really early the next morning and left in the dark, and we finally saw a live kill! And the final morning before going to the airstrip, we got to see a male cheetah ambushing zebra and caught a youngster! Next time, I probably will recommend people spend 4 nights at Tswalu instead of 3!
So again a great trip other than the hiccups with the SA visa.
