Day 1: Travel to Mala Mala

You will leave Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport on a flight to the historical and oldest safari lodge. Mala Private Game Reserve shares a fenceless border with the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve and the world-famous Kruger Park. Spend the next two nights enjoying one of Africa's most memorable safari experiences. Knowledgeable rangers and trackers will show you some of the best animal interactions on offer.

Day 2: On Safari

The day starts early with a wake-up call for the morning game drive where the wildlife of Africa will not disappoint. Being on a private reserve there is a limit to the number of vehicles driving around, allowing for more time at sightings. The rangers know the area and the habits of the animals well and will ensure the best possible experience.

Back at camp, the opportunity is there for a massage or light gym workout - or a lounge in the infinity pool. The day itineraries are not set in stone and the rangers will accommodate requests, depending on practicality. Dinner in the evening is served in a boma under the stars.

Day 3: Depart Mala Mala

This is the last day of your luxury South African Safari in Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve. After a morning game drive, or leisurely lie in, and breakfast it is time to bid farewell and fly back to Johannesburg or Cape Town for your onward journey.
