MalaMala Main Camp is unfenced – an oasis in the middle of the bushveld.
Every aspect of the MalaMala Main Camp (situated alongside MalaMala Sable 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.
