    Overview

    MalaMala Camp is one of the oldest lodges in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. This stunning and historical lodge offers an authentic South African wildlife experience in addition to a luxurious, comfortable stay, MalaMala Camp is the perfect accommodation for you. The lodge is situated right next to the banks of the Sands River. Spot wild animals only a few meters from your bed, on the large wooden veranda where you have an elevated view of all the animals that are drinking from the river. A unique experience!

    Visit one of the best-rated wildlife destinations in the world and enjoy the beautiful scenery guided by your personal highly trained guide, who also acts as a host and educator. They will make sure that you don’t miss anything from this beautiful area. To have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, go on a game drive safari in an open 4-wheel vehicle which enables the audience to have a full view on the animals and the driver to go off-road (which is strictly prohibited in Kruger National Park).

    About the Sabi Sand Game Reserve

    Adjacent to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is famed for its intimate wildlife encounters, particularly leopard viewing. Home to a host of animals, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino), the Sabi Sand is part of a conservation area that covers over two million hectares (almost five million acres), an area equivalent to the state of New Jersey.

    With no boundary fences between the Sabi Sand and the Kruger National Park, this reserve benefits from the great diversity of animals found in one of the richest wildlife areas on the African continent, along with the additional benefits experienced on a private game reserve.

    Game drives traverse an area of 10 500 hectares (26 000 acres) and strict vehicle limits at sightings ensure the exclusivity of the game viewing experience. Sensitive off-road driving ensures that guests have the best possible view of any exceptional sighting and rangers are constantly in touch with each other to keep track of animal movements.
