| The Lowveld of South Africa is reputed to support the greatest diversity of mammalian species on the African continent. It is here, in the heart of this game-rich region that the world-famous and highly acclaimed Mala Mala Game Reserve is located. Bordering the Kruger National Park and straddling the perennial Sand River for over fifty kilometres, this vast tract of "Big Five" habitat is able to offer unsurpassed ‘contact’ game viewing. Over two hundred different species, including cheetah, Cape hunting dog, lion, giraffe, hippo, elephant, buffalo, white and black rhino and leopard may be photographed all year round. An interesting variety of antelope species, zebra, hyena, jackal and a host of smaller mammals occur in abundance while the ever-changing birdlife provides even the most avid ornithologist with some rare finds.
Game drives are tailor-made to suit the guests’ requirements and are conducted in open four-wheel drive vehicles. Accompanied by a highly qualified game ranger and his skilled Shangaan tracker, guests traverse the bushveld in search of the game. Dawn and dusk safaris are undertaken daily with the highlight of the day being the spotlight night drive. Nocturnal species and carnivores "on the hunt" are an exciting and unforgettable experience. The radio-linked vehicles ensure superb game viewing which is further enhanced by the elimination of radio "babble" through the use of headphones. |

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 Mala Mala 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 Mala Mala 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. | Accommodation
