MalaMala Game Reserve is the Safari Industry’s blueprint to the luxury photographic safari. In existence since 1927, this massive thriving tract of land produces the most exciting wildlife experience this side of the equator. MalaMala Game Reserve is one of the largest unfenced private Big Five game reserves in South Africa. Comprising 13 300 ha (33 000 acres), MalaMala shares a 19 km (12 mile) border with the world-renowned Kruger National Park, and lies strategically sandwiched between the National Park and the Sabi Sand Reserve.
Visit WebsiteMalaMala Game Reserve lies strategically sandwiched between the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Reserve. The unfenced borders between MalaMala and the Kruger National Park on one side, and the Sabi Sand Reserve on the other allow animals to migrate unhindered to the perennial Sand River which flows north to south through MalaMala for 20 kilometres. This well preserved wilderness is a “honey-pot” to the most sought-after wildlife species, as well as a host of smaller creatures. MalaMala is part of a conservation gene pool that covers 5.5 million acres of land in the heart of the South African Lowveld.
The reserve supports a variety of habitat types; dense riverine forest, acacia-combretum bushveld, open grassland and rocky outcrops, each sustaining different plant and animal species. Offering an unrivalled safari experience.
