Mala Mala Main Camp
Sabi Sands, Greater Kruger Park
- Luxury lodge surrounded by lush lawn and shady trees
- Classic thatch rooms with private decks overlooking the Sand River
- ‘Magnificent seven’ game viewing and a fascinating wildlife encounter
MalaMala is the largest private reserve in South Africa and its three luxury lodges have exclusive access to this ancient wilderness.
Built in the early 1900s on the banks of the Sand River, the original camp at MalaMala has been revamped into a luxurious lodge - MalaMala Main Camp. Yet with rolling lawns and traditional thatched bungalows dotted around the grounds beneath shady trees, the lodge has retained its early charm.
The 18 rooms and suites have high thatched roofs, spacious bedrooms, twin bathrooms and private viewing decks overlooking the river. Living areas are suitably grand with a large boma – which has been the open-air dining area since 1964 – and a comfortable lounge that leads onto the open deck which overlooks the river.
With 20km of river frontage and a vast expanse of uninhabited wilderness, the wildlife and nature experiences at MalaMala are some of the world’s most spectacular. Wildlife activities include daily game drives, bush walks, night drives and stargazing.
In addition to fascinating insight into the trees, reptiles and smaller creatures, frequent sightings include lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant, numerous antelope species, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hyena, jackal and the endangered wild dog and cheetah.
The MalaMala Private Game Reserve shares 19km of fenceless border with the Kruger Park and covers 16,000 hectares; the Sand River winds its way through the reserve attracting high numbers of game.
