The Micato Bespoke Collection

Gracious service is a hallmark of MalaMala, and its staff-to-guest ratio of 3 to 1 is a major reason. An authentic bush feel matches well with deluxe hotel appointments here, and the primordial setting is perfect for spotting the Big Five.

The camp, set on the Sand River, features air-conditioned bungalows, private verandas, gymnasium, swimming pool... even heated towel racks in the bathrooms. It’s easy to see why MalaMala is regularly named a top safari lodge.
