MalaMala is South Africa's legendary and exclusive safari destination.
Internationally acknowledged as "the top game viewing destination 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 overlooking the Sand River. The individually
decorated, spacious and comfortable rooms under traditional
thatching, 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.
Despite the comfort offered, MalaMala retains an authentic camp
atmosphere, where the attention to detail for which Mala Mala is
world famous is obvious.
Dinner, where one may enjoy venison specialties and haute bush
cuisine is served in the grand old African manner, under the
stars in a reed enclosed boma, a MalaMala tradition for over 60
years. Seated around a log fire, under the starry African sky,
enjoying superb food and outstanding South African wines is yet
another highlight of the MalaMala experience.
The spacious, beautifully decorated Buffalo lounge displaying
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.
The luxury and comfort of the camp, combined with the
exhilarating game drives and guided walks in beautiful unspoilt
wilderness dramatised by the close encounters with Africa's
game, big and small, is incomparable. The accommodation at
MalaMala continues the African theme with spacious bungalows
under thatch. In accordance with our conservation policies, we
cater for no more than 36 guests at a time. The 18 luxury rooms
consist of twin or double rooms, suites, family rooms, a
disabled suite and one single room .
Each of the air-conditioned rooms enjoys a spectacular view of
the surrounding bush and are equipped with "His" and "Hers"
en-suite bathrooms, insect proof screens and top quality large
twin beds. Individually decorated, they feature sets of animal
or bird prints, complementing the attention to detail for which
MalaMala is world famous.
Children under 12, sharing with an adult, pay 50% of the quoted
adult tariff (at MalaMala only). Please note, no children of 5
years and younger are permitted in the boma for dinner, or on
