MalaMala
MalaMala Game Reserve, the first private photographic safari destination in South Africa, offers an authentic African experience. It is situated on the largest tract of land between the Sabi Sand Reserve and the world famous Kruger National Park. MalaMala offers incredible sightings of Africa's wildlife - including the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), as well as a multitude of smaller creatures, in an environment that remains reflective of a time when man had yet to arrive. How better to experience this wildlife wonderland than through the MalaMala rangers who are employed for their knowledge of the African bush and their ability to communicate with people. They are highly qualified, formally trained men who are thoroughly conversant with all aspects of ecology. Apart from conducting informative game drives, the ranger is the guests' host for the duration of their stay and can impart knowledge of Africa that enthralls, enlightens and entertains.

The MalaMala magic is not only the bush experience: Superb service remains the focus of all staff.
