MALAMALA GAME RESERVE

WWW.MALAMALA.COM

MalaMala Game Reserve is the Safari Industrys blueprint to the luxury photographic safari. In existence since 1927, this massive thriving tract of land produces the most exciting wildlife experience this side of the equator. MalaMala Game Reserve is the largest private Big Five game reserve in South Africa . Comprising 13 300 ha, MalaMala shares a 19 km (12 mile) unfenced border with the world-renowned Kruger National Park and lies sandwiched between the National Park and the Sabi Sand Reserve.  

For over four decades, Michael Rattray has remained focused on his objective to preserve and protect the land over which he is custodian. Allowing nature to move to its innate rhythm, guests experience today what the forefathers of the African Safari would have experienced at the turn of the century. This philosophy has paid off, as experienced by a veritable collection of photojournalists and film-makers who have made MalaMala their destination of choice to capture footage of wildlife viewing that would rival any Hollywood production for thrilling and breathtaking animal encounters.

MalaMala's Camps (MalaMala Main Camp, Sable Camp and Rattray's on MalaMala) are the embodiment of an authentic safari experience pioneered at a time when the safari was simple - unassuming camps, vast sweeping plains, the African sky and the bush in all its splendour. Wellness was the feeling after a long day in the wild. Cigars were shared without pomp and ceremony.

Guests to MalaMala will still spend hours beneath an inky sky in the traditional boma exchanging stories from the wild - a sumptuous meal, good company and relaxed faces warmed by the crackling fire, accompanied by the nocturnal symphony of sound.

Rated as one of the top “Hideaways" in the world, Mount Anderson Ranch, a water conservancy since 1990, is situated at altitudes of over 7 500 feet, above the town of Sabie and west of the world famous Kruger National Park. The 8 000 hectare (20 000 acre) Mount Anderson Ranch provides protection to the rainfall catchments of three of the major rivers that flow into The Kruger National Park.

Indigenous high altitude wildlife is found in the mountains whilst some of the finest high altitude trout fishing in Africa is available in the valleys. Walks, horse safaris, mountain biking, clay pigeon shooting or just simply relaxing - an activity exists for all temperaments.

The largest nugget of gold (5½ pounds) ever found in South Africa was on Golden Hill, in the heart of Mount Anderson Ranch. The remains of extensive gold mining on the property by our forefathers makes for a fascinating historical tour.

Only accommodating 6 guests at Golden Cottage, Mount Anderson combines solitude, exclusivity and privacy. Whatever reason you choose to visit Mount Anderson Ranch one thing is for certain – the only threat to your enjoyment is the resounding silence.
