The Camp | Image Gallery
The soul of MalaMala's Main Camp is tangible: -
It is present in the sepia photographs in the safari bar, reflecting the history of the area;
it is present in the massive Jackalberry Tree, a silent witness in the boma from the beginning;
It is present in the faces of the staff some who have worked for the family for over 30 years;
It is present in the floodplain beyond the camp which has witnessed the changes year on year;
It is present in the granite outcrops of Sithlawayise and Campbell Koppies who stand guard over this pristine wilderness area;
It is present in the Sand River which journeys through this sanctuary supporting this dramatic eco system,
but more importantly it is present in the generations of wild animals who have found solace in their home territories on MalaMala
Every aspect of the Main Camp is designed to appreciate and enjoy the view of the surrounding wilds. Pathways wind their way along the perimeter of the camp to reveal individual ochre colored units tucked into the greenery which flanks the Sand River. Massive trees and rolling green lawns are filled with birdsong, with the occasional antelope or elephant which seeks the succulence of greenery.
The camp is unfenced - an oasis in the midst of the bushveld .
