If I can jump in here, we visited Inyati Game lodge in the Sabi Sand area next to Krugar Park in '95; it was the most stunning trip we've ever had. it was tacked onto a 10 trade mission to South Africa in which we flew in everything from Beechcrafts to 747 and visited 5 cities and one tea plantation. So after 10 days immersed in intense political and economic issues, we were looking forward to a bit of relaxation and adventure.
Inyati Lodge was quite lushly furnished, had extremely knowledgable native guides, and was exquisitely respectful of the animals and the land. We toured 2x a day and also had flora and fauna walks. The meals were delicious and the ambience beautifully relaxing on the banks of the river. In just 3 days, we saw 4 of the 5 Big Game (tracked a leopard but never spotted it). Saw many more animals incluing hyenas giraffes, crocs, hippos, giraffe, zebra, warthos etc. Saw a zebra kill by a pride of lions (sad but a fact of life). There is a pool. On the way back to the airport, we stopped to pick up one couple from the very $$$$$ Sabi Sabi Lodge and overheard that they felt lucky that they saw elephants and a rhino!
Going back is not in our immediate plans but I do plan to do so, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
