My husband and I just left Mala Mala a few days ago after a 3 night stay and I cannot say enough good things about it. First and foremost, the animal viewing is superb. Big 5 the first day and almost every day after. Lots of other hoofstock, birds, giraffes, etc can be seen as well. We visited another park... More

......why did I have to wake up? Besides being able to see the Big 5 in the same morning and having a wonderful young man as our Ranger, how about coming to a room that is the size of an apartment and offers the level of comfort one can only envision in dreams? I hope to go back someday and... More

We've been on safari in Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and the Eastern Cape, and MalaMala was the only place where we've had a Big 5 Game Drive... on our first drive of our 3 nights there!!! Highlights were seeing the wild African hunting dogs, watching leopards mate, watching a pride of lions stalk a herd of buffalo (VERY exciting, even though... More

We had a great ranger Matt who took us on all our game drives mornings and evenings, was great fun and had a vast knowledge on all the wild life. We saw the big... More

Our exeprience at mala mala main camp was great. It's not the big plains and running herds you would expect of the Serengeti, but we still got up close to most animals including leapords, elephants, a pride of lions and giraffe. I think this was much better viewing than what I hear about Kruger. The food was good and the... More

We spent two nights at the Mala Mala Main Camp. It was truly an amazing experience. I would say 2 nights is plenty - as we did 4 game drives over the 2 days, and saw just about every animal on the list. The reserve itself is very large, with lots of opportunities to get close to all the main... More
