Highlights
What We Love
- Very long frontage of the Sand River
- Lengthy unfenced border with the Kruger National Park
- Modified suite and vehicle for mobility-impaired guests
When To Visit
Peak Season: May to September
A bumper period as little rainfall means game flocks to the Sand River to drink when other water sources dry up.
Green Season: October to April
A glorious season when summer rains refresh the earth and plains game, especially impala, drop their young.
Overview
MalaMala Private Game Reserve holds an almost legendary position in South Africa. As one of the oldest reserves, it has an enviable position adjacent to the Kruger National Park: no fences block animals moving between the two for 19 kilometres / 12 miles. If that’s not enough, it also has 20km / 13mi of direct access to the Sand River. Even more impressive, it is the biggest private area, clocking in at 13 200 hectares / 13 600 acres.
Main Camp is built in a ‘classic African’ style with a special mobility-impaired suite built to international specifications and a modified game-drive vehicle that can take wheelchairs. Children will also love the comprehensive Junior Rangers programme jam packed with age-appropriate activities.
