Reserve Information

MalaMala Game Reserve has been in existence since 1927 and offers visitors the most exciting wildlife experiences in Africa. This Private reserve comprising of 33 000 acres shares an unfenced 19km border with the famous Kruger National Park.

When it comes to wildlife sightings, it is a given that 96% of the time clients get to view the "Big 5" during a stay with the reserve. There are not a lot of reserves in the whole of Africa that can come up with similar stats - trust us on that one.

It is correct in saying that MalaMala is not part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, but an entirely free-standing entity squeezed in between the two giants of the safari world.

Rooms and Suites

Five luxurious suites individually decorated with classic high thatched ceilings all offer king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms and a verandah with views out over The Malamala reserve.

The Lion's Den suite consists of 2 en-suite bedrooms with a central yet separate lounge area, The Lion's Den is perfect for families or two couples travelling together.

Cuisine and Wine

Breakfasts with a choice of full English or continental, lunches are an extravagant buffet styled affair while dinners offer a variety of African styled cuisine options, all meals are served either in the dining area, outside deck or in that stunning boma.

An excellent selection of wines from the in-house cellar and cold beers are are the perfect accompaniment to meals.

A highlight of ones stay at Sable Camp is the opportunity for a bush breakfast and picnic lunch.
