MalaMala Game Reserve is located between the world renowned Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. This reserve, home to a host of wildlife including the Big Five, is considered to be part of this greater Kruger conservation area that covers two million hectares, an area nearly the size of the state of New Jersey and larger than some independent countries.
The unfenced borders between MalaMala, Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Reserve allow animals to move unhindered to the perennial Sand River which flows north to south through MalaMala for 13 miles. As a result, this well preserved wilderness showcases over two hundred different species. Even for the most experienced ornithologist, the ever changing birdlife results in rare finds.
Covering an area of 13500 hectares or 33000 acres, this land of varied habitats provides guests with an exclusive opportunity to meander the wild. Only guests accommodated at one of MalaMala three camps are entitled to enjoy this pristine land. This ensures that the impact of human presence is kept to an absolute minimum.
MalaMala benefits from the great diversity of wildlife found in one of the richest wilderness areas on the African continent and offers the additional benefits of an exclusive and large private game reserve.
