Lodge Details
Style
A comfortable and traditional, African safari camp
Setting
In the Mala Mala Game Reserve, an unfenced reserve next to Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Wiltuin in north-eastern South Africa.
Accommodation & Facilities
Accommodation is in large thatched rondavels (circular bungalows), each with a private veranda accessed via sliding glass doors, to enjoy the bush. Joined by winding paths, each rondavels is tucked into the greenery that flanks the Sands River. Beautifully laid out and in-keeping with the African theme, each room and suite has ‘his and hers’ bathrooms, a mini bar and 24 hour temperature control. You will also find amenities such as mosquito repellent, hairdryers, a mini-safe and tea/coffee making facilities at hand.
The main lounge area is of an impressive size, complete with a historic bar – great for socialising with the other guests (max 36 at a time). There is a large deck shaded by Jackalberry trees, a library with internet connectivity and a beautiful infinity pool with views, as well as a safari boutique and small gym.
Dining
Haute ‘bush cuisine’ and sumptuous wines are serves around the log fire in the boma, advertised by the beating of African drums.
Activities
There are game drives departing everyday at dusk and dawn, the best time to see the wildlife at its most active and vehicles are limited to just 6 guests at a time for great viewing. This is big five country, so it is possible to see them all from here, as well as cheetah, wild dog and general game such as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and a variety of antelope. There is also a ‘Junior Ranger’ program for children.
Child Policy
Children 4 years and younger are not permitted in the boma for dinner or on game drives, unless the family have booked sole use of a vehicle. Please bear in mind that this camp is unfenced. Babysitting can be arranged at extra cost.
