Rattray's on Mala Mala
Rattray’s on MalaMala represents a classical “into Africa” safari experience in keeping with Mala Mala’s history of
presenting an authentic view of wildlife in Africa to the discerning traveller.
The Rattray’s experience is exclusive, with each of the eight comfortable suites occupying its own elevated site
overlooking the Sand River. Each of the secluded verandas has a filtered plunge pool and an outdoor dining area provides the ideal vantage point from which to enjoy bush cuisine in complete privacy.
Facilities within the elegant main 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.
Breakfast and lunch are served in the air-conditioned dining room or on the adjoining deck whilst the traditional reed boma under a magnificent jackalberry tree is the ultimate outdoor evening venue.
Malamala Game Reserve shares an unfenced common border of 19km / 12 miles with the Kruger National Park and is part of a conservation gene pool that covers 5.5 million acres of land in the heart of the South African Lowveld.
This low lying region of flat bush country contains habitat types ranging from riverine thicket along the perennial Sand River to open savannah.
Today this area is known to have the greatest diversification of animal species on the African continent with over seventy five per cent of clients successfully viewing the big five in this reserve.
Only guests accommodated at one of the Malamala camps may traverse this immense tract of privately owned game land, the largest in South Africa.
