MalaMala Rattray's Camp

MalaMala Rattray's Camp offers a captivating blend of opulent old-world interiors, unobstructed bush panoramas, top-tier amenities, exceptional hospitality, and a breathtaking location. Nestled along the banks of the Sand River, this pristine sanctuary is ensconced in a verdant forest renowned for its remarkable game viewing opportunities.

At MalaMala Rattray's Camp, wildlife safaris take precedence. Each vehicle accommodates a maximum of four guests, ensuring an intimate and exclusive experience. Keep a keen eye out for the illustrious Big 5 – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos, alongside cheetahs and African wild dogs, all of which call MalaMala their home. During downtime, guests can observe wildlife from the deck, unwind in the infinity pool overlooking the river, explore the boutique, indulge in a soothing massage, or utilize the fitness room.

The luxurious Khayas, meaning 'home' in Zulu, offer sweeping vistas of the Sand River and the surrounding landscape. Each suite features private verandahs, lush gardens, and plunge pools, as well as exquisite bathrooms, outdoor showers, indoor and outdoor dining areas, minibars, tea/coffee facilities, safes, and optional satellite TVs. After your adventure in Kruger National Park, extend your journey to Cape Town and Victoria Falls for an unforgettable experience.
