Mala Mala Private Game Reserve

Mala Mala Private Game Reserve is strongly identified with its award winning service, and its status as one of the oldest and largest reserves within the greater Kruger National Park region. A mammoth 16 000 hectares of wilderness habitat, completely unfenced and, thus, within the wandering area of an assortment of colourful animals, Mala Mala Game reserve and its Luxury Lodges are home to a proud history attractive and well appointed bushveld safaris.

Out in the loveld thickets, nestled among the hardy vegetation lives a host of indigenous fauna to make sure any game drive you take here is one you'll remember when you're done. The Big 5 population is met, in their numbers, by local groupings of giraffe, hippo, antelope, hippo, and warthog. Bird habitats are also plentiful here, as are the shoals of gorgeous fish in nearby bodies of water. Camps and lodges here are, themselves, wrapped up in the local history, authentic decorations flecking the walls with the kind of romantic nostalgia synonymous with bush establishments such as this one.

Lodges within Mala Mala Reserve

Sable Camp hearkens back to the colonial history of the Mala Mala Reserve at large - rich designs and luxurious accommodation are complimented by outstanding service and immaculate facilities. Game drives are conducted on a twice daily basis, and accommodation is provided with a full range of modern options. Sable Camp overlooks the Sand river, and it is with this majestic view in plain sight that guests come to appreciate the history and natural wonder of this gorgeous camp.

Mala Mala Reserve's Main Camp is home to some of its most exciting and memorable encounters: dinner stories of run-ins between lions and buffalo, day trip bush walks, and adventure in the veld. From the morning breakfast room service, to an afternoon spent conversing with professional guides and fellow safari enthusiasts, through to the cozy evening meal, the outside world alive with cricket chirps, before evening drinks and the winding down of the day before bed - Mala Mala Main Camp is luxury safari perfection.

Rattray's on Mala Mala is a well appointed, exclusive luxury lodge in the Mala Mala Game Reserve. Its wood floored Khaya units lend the lodge a sense of natural beauty, blendin in calmly with the leafy surrounds of Mala Mala. Rattray's is also lent much of its character by its size and exclusivity - with lodging and facilities within such close proximity of each other, the feeling at Rattray's is one of being entirely secluded within the greater expanse of the reserve.
