Still working on that - in the mix are the following lodges. Have two groups full - considering a third group but not sure yet about that third group.
Safaris start right after the Splendor June 4 - 16, 2020 cruise. Flying from Barcelona down to South Africa to start the safaris.
Tswalu - fantastic lodge - fantastic game - expensive - plus flights - doing some heavy negotiation they want us back but pricing for even 2019 is very high. They will be finishing a 6 month refurbishment the day we arrive in 2019. Very proud pricing for their updated lodge but really working with me so we will see what happens.
Dulini - a risk - went there a long time ago but it has been refurbished looks good. A lodge in the same area as Leopard Hills. Wont use Leopard Hills again but this is the same exact land. Great game.
Mala Mala - a sure thing
Makanyi - great lodge. Great game group 1 and very average game group 2 in 2018. Lodge outstanding - game a question mark?
Lion Sands - reopened after the fire and very contemporary and much more public space now.
Kwandwe - pre and post for Rhino Darting - Eastern Cape. Pain to get there but great lodge and the only place I can confirm Rhino darting that I have found. Been there 3 times.

Any chance you will be doing a Rwanda/Uganda extension for the gorillas?

No chance at all - sorry. I will be gone a LONG time already with the cruise and possibly three groups. Rwanda is great but very challenging. Not sure I could even walk up that mountain again and not for everyone. Unlikely I will ever do a Mountain Gorilla group but I do encourage anyone that wants to go to just DO IT if you are fit enough. A tremendous experience.
