Marvellous Mala Mala
Mala Mala’s game viewing is unsurpassable given there are 10,000 hectares of unadulterated bush viewing for guests only. Abundant river sources mean prolific wildlife populations, including a large density of leopards.
Rich recently hosted a Safari at Mala Mala, here’s a snippet of an adrenaline filled game drive below: The night fell, illuminated only by the Milky Way, as we listened to the lionesses keenly tuning into the sounds of a nearby rutting impala, strategizing their next hunt. But our attention was soon diverted to a leopard spotted in the distance, skilfully feeding on its kill atop a tree. Bens, our guide, expertly led us closer to the leopard, anticipating that the lions might be attracted to the carcass. What followed was nail biting.

Pack light and prioritize comfort but bring a t-shirt too – by the afternoon you could be soaking up the winter sun overlooking a viewing deck teeming with animals.
