Large and exclusive reserve in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve bordering on the Kruger Park
While it may be a landmark and one of the most famous private reserves in South Africa, MalaMala Game Reserve has just three lodges whose guests have exclusive access to 16,000 hectares of pristine African bush. An equation that suits both man and beast.

More about Mala Mala

While it may be a landmark and one of the most famous private reserves in South Africa, MalaMala Game Reserve has just three lodges whose guests have exclusive access to 16,000 hectares of pristine African bush. An equation that suits both man and beast. The reserve shares 19km of its border with the Kruger National Park and the animals come and go as the please. The habitats are diverse ranging from savannah woodland to riverine thickets. Game-viewing is excellent and the perennial Sand River flows for 20km through the western section of the reserve.

MalaMala Game Reserve forms a large part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which shares a fenceless boundary with the Kruger National Park and adds to the 2.2 million hectare nature conservancy that makes up the greater Kruger region.

Mala Mala Main Camp is the oldest – and humblest - of the three lodges in the reserve and the blueprint for many subsequent lodges in southern Africa. Built in the early 1900s along the Sand River, the lodge's 18 thatched cottages are surrounded by lush lawns and shady trees.

With just five rooms and a palatial suite, Mala Mala Sable Camp in the southern section is an exclusive and luxurious departure from the modern world. The style is understated and rustic but the luxury is everywhere.

Rattray's on MalaMala is the ultimate in colonial elegance and comfort. The eight suites are standalone houses built in the style of early colonial Africa; every indulgence has been catered for and the privacy and comfort are supreme.
