Unique location

Mala Mala is the largest private game reserve in South Africa.  It is 13,300 hectares and has a 19km unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park.

The expansive territory encompasses various ecosystems, including riverine areas, savannahs, and woodlands, providing a range of habitats for different species. This diversity enhances the overall safari experience, as guests have the opportunity to encounter a wide array of wildlife in their natural settings.

Best wildlife

The large size of Mala Mala is a key factor in the diversity and abundance of wildlife found within the reserve.
‍
Included in the package are two daily safari activities with expert guides. Game drives have special permission to go offroad and there is a limit of six guests per game viewer to make the experience as private and personalised as possible.

Location and getting there

Firstly, we'll handle everything including your lodging, flights and transfers!

Mala Mala Game Reserve is less than a one hour drive from Skukuza Airport (SZK). There are daily flights from Johannesburg (JNB) and Cape Town (CPT) to SZK.

At a slightly higher budget one can also land directly at the lodge airstrip in the reserve.  Either via a commercial flight operated by Federal Air, or by chartering a private aircraft.

Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding the finer details.
