Rattray's on MalaMala represents a classical
"into Africa" safari experience in keeping
with MalaMala's history of presenting an
authentic view of wildlife in Africa to the
discerning traveler. Facilities within the
main elegant building incorporate a viewing
deck, an air-conditioned library providing a
refuge for the literary devotee, an
attractive bar showcasing the history of the
area and an adjoining wine cellar stocked
with a wide range of South Africa's best
wines. Breakfast and lunch are served in the
air-conditioned dining room or on the
adjoining deck whilst the traditional reed
boma under a magnificent jackalberry tree is
the ultimate outdoor evening venue.
The focus of the Rattray's safaris will
continue to reflect the ethos of the reserve
over the past forty years - game viewing.
Sound conservation management has ensured an
environmental sanctuary for an impressive
density and diversity of wildlife. Striving
for a maximum of 4 guests per safari vehicle
this wildlife wonderland that is MalaMala
unfolds. Sightings of the Big Five and the
interactions of the various species along
the food chain from ants to elephants
provides visitors with a glimpse of Africa
as it has always been - untouched by the
modern human hand.

The Rattray's camp experience is exclusive,
with each of the eight comfortable suites
occupying its own elevated site overlooking
the Sand River. Filtered plunge pools
complete each of the secluded verandahs and
an outdoor dining area provides the ideal
vantage point from which to enjoy bush
cuisine in complete privacy. Each guest has
the choice of remaining connected to the
outside world from the sanctuary of their
room via continuous internet connectivity
