It is really hard to go wrong! I know we were nervous with our choices (Londolozi Granite and Sigita Sweni) but I'm glad we did both. Now we just have to start saving up again so we can go back!

I believe we eventually narrowed down our list to about 5 and then weighed pros and cons. It was nice to go to two different parts of Kruger because in the Sabi Sands area the animals were definitely more familiar with the land rovers. Baby cubs, lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes....would literally walk right next to your vehicle just feet away. At our second stop the animals were less famliliar so you had to "hunt" for sightings. It was nice to have this variety.

I would definitely recommend getting a variety. We spent 3 nights at two different camps. If we had more time we would have loved to have visited Botswana as well but unfortunatelty flights and vacation days wouldn't go our way.

I can only speak honestly about the two camps we went to:
Singita Sweni and Londolozi Granite
No matter what you will feel pampered at both.

The room design and architecture at Singita was amazing. The food was slightly better (both were delicious) and the massage I had at the spa was one of the best. The game drives were nice but definitely fell short compared to Londolozi. Although the snacks on the drives at Singita were amazing! And the wines were spectacular. Singita definitely has the edge when it comes to "hotel luxury."

The room at Granite was beautiful as well. It felt more like a home than a fancy tree house. The staff treated you like family. The game drives were the best of the best when it comes to animals and excitement.

We would definitely love to return to both however in the end Londolozi edged out Singita. They made us feel so welcomed and we didn't want to leave. We both agreed it was the highlight.

You really can't go wrong though! Have a great trip - if and when you sort it all out! Oh and if you choose granite - request room #2 - it is the one with the rock pool in the brochures.
