The whole Mala Mala safari experience definitely exceeded our expectations. Everything including the accommodation, food and staff were superbe.

My husband and I just left Mala Mala a few days ago after a 3 night stay and I cannot say enough good things about it. First and foremost, the animal viewing is superb. Big 5 the first day and almost every day after. Lots of other hoofstock, birds, giraffes, etc can be seen as well. We visited another park... More

I hope to go back someday and... More

Our exeprience at mala mala main camp was great. It's not the big plains and running herds you would expect of the Serengeti, but we still got up close to most animals including leapords, elephants, a pride of lions and giraffe. I think this was much better viewing than what I hear about Kruger. The food was good and the... More
