MalaMala Rattray’s Camp

Premium An extremely luxurious lodge or permanent tented camp (five-star) with superb cuisine and excellent service, swimming pool and, many of them, with a private “plunge” pool (small swimming pool) for each chalet or tent. Lodges and chalets are air-conditioned, while the tents may be air-conditioned or fan-cooled.

MalaMala Rattray's represents a classical “into Africa” safari experience. The camp is exclusive, with each of the eight comfortable suites occupying its own elevated site overlooking the Sand River. Private plunge pools complete each of the secluded verandahs and an outdoor dining area provides the ideal vantage point from which to enjoy bush cuisine in complete privacy. Facilities within the main elegant building incorporate a viewing deck, an air-conditioned library providing a refuge for the literary devotee, an attractive bar showcasing the history of the area and an adjoining wine cellar stocked with a wide range of South Africa’s best wines.

The focus of the Rattray’s safaris reflects the reserve's ethos over the past forty years – game viewing. Striving for a maximum of 4 guests per safari vehicle this wildlife wonderland that is MalaMala Game Reserve unfolds.
