"We just wanted to thank you all again for making the Rattrays leg of our honeymoon so enjoyable. We had a fantastic time, and definitely hope to come back again sometime. Apart from the weather(!), everything about our stay was perfect, the food was superb and Ryan did a great job of finding everything we wanted to see (although he still owes us a cheetah and some wild dogs - maybe next time!). Far too many highlights to pick out any one, although meeting a rhino on the bush walk will certainly live long in the memory."

"As a keen wildlife photographer, Africa has long been a place I wanted to visit. When I was presented with an opportunity to visit MalaMala and photograph some of the animals I had only seen in book and documentaries I grabbed it. My visit to MalaMala was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The camp and facilities are fantastic, the rangers and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable and the wildlife is litterally on your doorstep. If you have the chance to visit this amazing place I highly recommend it."

"Hands down...Mala Mala is the best! I've been to almost 50 camps and lodges throughout Africa over the past 16 years and every trip, I return to Mala Mala. There's never any question. It comes out on top every time!"

"This was our second trip to South Africa, but our first to Mala Mala. In addition to the leopards, the wild dog sightings were a particularly special treat. We will surely return to this magnificent facility."

"I was privileged to return to Mala Mala in November 7 through 12 of 2008. We saw many wonderful things with Keenan and Arab. One of which was the pangolin in one of these photos. The Sable camp is so quiet and beautiful I felt we were the only guests there. It is so difficult to choose from the many photos that bring back such wonderful memories but here are a very few of my favorites. A million thanks for everything!!!"

These photos are just a few of the hundreds that we took during our time with you. I hope visitors to your website will enjoy seeing these. "

"I was a guest at Mala Mala last week on March 13 and 14 and I have to tell you it was an extraordinary experience. My first trip to South Africa and I think it cannot be topped. Thank you Bruce for all your great information and entertainment! Great guide! I took over 400 pics and it was not nearly enough. A few I like are here for you to enjoy. I highly recommend MalaMala (and have already) and plan to be back as soon as I can! "

" We were at MalaMala Main
in 2004 with a large group of friends, and we began
making plans to return with our kids. Our group of 17
returned to MalaMala Main in early August 2008 with
our entire families. We watched the heart and soul changing
effects of the MalaMala safari unfold on our families
and knew we had experienced something very special together.
In 2004, we saw the Big 5 every day, sometimes twice
a day.
During our 2008 stay, we actually saw the Big
7 - what a thrill! Rangers Matt, Wayne and Gareth
were incredible with our group - they left us with
lifelong memories, and by the time we left (tears
in eyes) they were part of our family. Our daughter
said it was the most amazing thing she has ever experienced,
and you're changed when you leave MalaMala, but there's
no way to adequately describe it to friends back home
- it's just something you hold in your heart.

“ Mala Mala was our first visit to
an African Game Reserve and it was just wonderful. We could
not have hoped for such an exhilarating and close up encounter
with the best that Kruger National Park has to offer and
our Ranger Benz and Tracker Patrick were fantastic and so
skilled at locating the leopards and lions. ”

"
Our return visit to MalaMala was to complete a journey
of the heart. My heart has been stolen by this land,
our lives changed forever. Our Rangers Keenan and
Jon opened this world to us with their knowledge,
their professionalism, and their passion for the
wildlife and what it represents as a land truly
untouched by civilization. They are a part of us
know...and our group of twelve will be forever grateful.

on MalaMala was the best experience ever. Excellent
game drive, excellent staff, the place is heaven
on earth. Special thanks to our ranger Donald, not
only a great ranger but a real gentleman, and our
tracker Calvin, who found the baby leopard I was
dreaming to see. We're planning our next visit to
Mala Mala already. Many thanks! " Juliana Bussab

"I
was at Rattrays for only 6 days in March. It was
supposed to be "the trip of a lifetime"
but, as one of my Landrover companions said, "it
was not" - as there is no way that I can only
make it the one visit! I took a heap of photos but
the leopards were my favourite. It was such a privilege
to be able to get so close to them and testimony
to the wonderful practices that have been developed
at Mala Mala over the years."

"It is essential that
everyone should cultivate the art of resting in quietness
and I could practise it in Mala Mala.I believe that true
freedom exists in our minds, but in every moment, true
wisdom must be created...MalaMala has some kind of magic!Thanks
a lot to our ranger Warren,so gentle and to our tracker
Aubrey for making our stay such a remarkable and unforgettable
experience!!
We hope to return one day...."

"We
enjoyed another outstanding MalaMala safari.
We wanted to see the endangered wild dogs and our
guide, Jamie, put us into the middle of a pack of them.
We enjoyed a major bonus; we watched leopard mating
on two separate occasions. During one occasion
we observed two female leopards vying for the male's attention. We
were very fortunate to see leopards mating, it was a
once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you for the
experience..That handsome male lion walked next to our
Land Rover, Karen could have touched him.
We are looking
forward to next year's safari at MalaMala."
