Mala Mala Main Camp Description

Mala Mala Main Camp is South Africa’s legendary and most well known game lodge. Recognised as one of the top game viewing destinations in the world it is set in beautiful surroundings on the banks of the Sand River. The ochre coloured buildings are clustered amid shady trees and manicured lawns. The rooms are individually decorated, spacious and comfortable built under traditional thatching. They enjoy spectacular views and are equipped with “his” and “hers” bathrooms, 24 hour temperature control, insect proofing, direct dial telephones, a mini-bar and a mini safe.

Mala Mala retains an authentic camp atmosphere, and runs like a well oiled family hotel .The twenty five luxury rooms consist of twin or double rooms, suites, family rooms, a disabled suite and one single room. The spacious Buffalo Lounge displays bronzes, works of art and animal trophies leads onto an expansive wooden deck which provides an elevated view of animals watering in the Sand River. At dinner you may enjoy venison specialties and haute bush cuisine which is served in the grand old African manner, under the stars in a reed enclosed boma, a Mala Mala tradition for over 60 years. Seated around a log fire, under the starry African sky, enjoying tasty food and outstanding South African wines is yet another highlight of the Mala Mala experience.

Mala Mala Main Camp : Outstanding Game Viewing

We regard Mala Mala to have the finest game viewing in the South Africa. This can be directly attributed to the fact that Mala Mala comprises 33000 acres or 16000 hectares of pristine game viewing land, making it the largest privately owned game reserve in South Africa, with human density and impact on the land being kept to an absolute minimum. Another reason is the unfenced border between Mala Mala and the Kruger National Park, which allows herds of animals to migrate unhindered to the perennial Sand River which flows north to south through the Mala Mala Game Reserve for 13 kilometres.

Photographic safaris are conducted in open 4-wheel drive vehicles which allows for total freedom of movement and the ability to leave the road and track down Africa's Big Five - Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo. After dark, spotlight safaris provide the opportunity to view nocturnal creatures and carnivores on the hunt and walking safaris with an armed ranger can be arranged on request.
The success of Mala Mala’s safaris can be measured by the fact that more than 76% of the guests have seen the Big Five by the time they leave the lodge
