SA Sabi Sands Lodging: Silvan Safari Lodge vs Dulini River Lodge

Hi! My father and I are planning our first trip to Africa this December and are currently deciding between Silvan Safari Lodge and Dulini River Lodge in Sabi Sands.

Would really appreciate any thoughts from those who have stayed at either or both, particularly on the safari experience, food & drinks, and overall lodge experience.

Questions about early Nov 2026 safari

Getting ready for our first Safari trip early next month. 4 Nights and Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge, then 3 nights at Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls.

I'm mostly trying to figure out packing/what to bring. Trying to keep it light. For those that have been this time of year, for men, are shorts and a t shirt OK for game drives? It seems like a lot of recommendations for long sleeves/long pants. It looks like it's typically pretty warm that time of year. I will be bringing long pants for dinner, etc. Just trying to not buy a new wardrobe.

Also, do camps like these typically provide power converters? (Im in the US).

Looking forward to your feedback!

Looking Bush to beach in SA experience in December

We will be doing a safari in Thornybush and wanted to relax at a beach destination for 2-3 days after. I came across Thonga Beach Lodge, KZN. I liked that it was near the ocean, but felt it was logistically easier to get to than some of the international places like Mozambique? Has anyone stayed here and have any advice? I am not able to find much on reddit? Do I have the correct assumption?

Open to suggestions for other places.
