Rattrays on MalaMala | Kruger Park Lodges

Introduction

That classic "into Africa" safari experience and approach for a discerning traveller that wants and needs to experience Africa authentically.

Rattray's on MalaMala is about luxury, but not over the top luxury; everything is very understated in a classic way.

With the primary focus being safaris, wildlife and exclusivity, Rattray's strives to have a maximum of only four guests per safari vehicle.

Rattray's on MalaMala has been a firm favourite of ours and our guests for well over 15 years.

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

The Rattray's on MalaMala experience is one of exclusivity, with each of the eight luxurious suites spaced far enough apart to ensure complete and utter privacy.

All eight suites offer up king-sized beds, private verandah, air-conditioned comfort, "His" and "Hers" en-suite bathroom facilities, indoor and outdoor showers, private plunge pools as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas for those romantic nights or special occasions.

To be honest, there is not much more that one could ask for.

There is an option of having satellite television and a DVD player in your suite; this is on a request only basis.
