MalaMala Rattray's
MalaMala, Kruger
Accommodation
The luxurious Rattray's on MalaMala is small but mighty. Tucked away in a forest of green, on the banks of the Sand River, stand eight spacious suites with private plunge pool, His and Hers bathrooms (double sinks, double showers), outdoor shower and opportunity for private dinners. Nothing is lacking here.
The stately main building boasts a large infinity pool by the river, as well as opulent dining room, bar, library, safari boutique, and traditional reed boma (dining under the stars). Children under the age of 16 are not permitted at Rattray’s.
Location
Covering an area of 13,200 hectares, MalaMala Game Reserve is the largest private reserve in the Sabi Sand Reserve. Traversed by the life-giving Sand River, this expansive region shares a 19 km unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park and guarantees fantastic game drives across a large area with few other vehicles.
Wildlife
With the addition of cheetah and wild dog, the reserve also boasts being able to present the big five (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino) on almost any day of the week. Hyena, giraffe, hippo, zebra and several species of antelope may also be encountered. Many animals make their first appearance while guests take their morning coffee on the terrace overlooking Sands River.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, guided walks.
