Zimbabwe's reply was never on course to threaten the home total - although Taibu (103no) and Stuart Matsikenyeri (86) exposed some South African vulnerabilities and ensured some respectability for the tourists with a sixth-wicket stand of 188.
Zimbabwe eventually closed on 250 for six - still an encouraging outcome for Graeme Smith's team, who hope to have big guns Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy back from injury in time for their forthcoming Twenty20 and ODI assignments against England.Amla shared stands of 67 with Smith and 90 with AB de Villiers (51) - before Alviro Petersen and Albie Morkel (50no) added quick late runs to boost the Proteas' total.
Smith upped the tempo after a slow start, until he fell to an attempted slog-sweep at Ray Price.Debutant all-rounder Ryan McLaren, who gave up his Kolpak status and a county career with Kent to be able to play for South Africa, had little chance with the bat - making an unbeaten six.
But he made an impact with the ball, trapping Zim opener Justice Chibabha lbw and having Brendan Taylor caught behind.
