South Africa's most legendary safari MalaMala




MalaMala Game Reserve
Release : 2014
Dear Valued Partners and Friends in Tourism,












Panoramic flights from MalaMala Game Reserve.

THE BLYDE BLOWER (Bell Jetranger helicopter) - ZAR 21'850.00 (up to 4 passengers)



Your experience starts at the MalaMala airstrip where you will be collected by helicopter (approximate flying time is 1hour 30 minutes ). Shortly thereafter, you will be flown over a collection of the most scenic areas in South Africa. These include :-

The Blyde River Canyon,
Gods Window
The Pinnacle.

En route you will fly over some of the most breathtaking waterfalls which are fast flowing in the wet summer months.

The Lisbon Falls which tumbles down a 92 metre cliff into a large pool.
The Berlin Falls which has an 80 metre drop.

Your private high altitude picnic spot is atop a mountain enabling one to experience a closeness with nature. A flight over the Mac Mac waterfalls and cascades on the return to MalaMala completes the experience.



WATERFALL WISK (Bell Jetranger helicopter) - ZAR 17�500.00 (up to 4 passengers)

This is a shortened version of the above package (Approximate flying time: 40 mins) which unfortunately this does not include the Blyde River Canyon or a picnic stop. Guests are collected at the MalaMala airstrip and flown over the Pinnacle and Gods Window. View over Lisbon and Berlin waterfalls via the Mac Mac Falls completes the experience.






You may have read recent press reports regarding the MalaMala Land Claim and the sale of the property to the N�wandlamharhi Community Property Association (CPA) and we thought this is an ideal opportunity to update you on the current status quo.

The Land Claim involved the sale of the land and immovables to the N�wandlamharhi Community while the eco-tourism business �MalaMala Game Reserve� continues to be owned and operated by Michael and Norma Rattray and their team of dedicated staff.
The intention of the South African Government, the Claimant Community and the Rattray Family is for the Rattray Family to continue to manage the business with the community for many years to come, probably upwards of 25 years.
It is �business as usual� for MalaMala Game Reserve while we finalise the long term working agreement with the community which will become effective from 01 February 2015.

MalaMala is now proudly the only community owned game reserve in the Sabi Sand area and the South African Government and the N�wandlamharhi Community are as committed to the ongoing legacy of MalaMala as we are. The family and staff look forward to partnering with the Community for the continuation of this successful eco-tourism model and to mentoring and training members of the Community in this field. This is a truly exciting opportunity for all parties to play a part in history and the road forward. We believe the success of the MalaMala/CPA model will become the benchmark for others.

On the 21st December the N�wandlamharhi Community Committee met with the Rattrays and the staff of MalaMala Game Reserve to reassure the staff that there would be no changes to their employment positions and conditions. Sales, reservations and marketing will continue to be handled exclusively by our Johannesburg Reservations office.

The successful outcome of the land claim enables us to now replace our entire landrover fleet in 2014 as well as significantly enhance the camp infrastructure. It goes without saying that, as in the past, any refurbishment will always be carried out with ZERO impact on our valued guests� enjoyment.

We will continue to keep you updated on any important developments at MalaMala Game Reserve but please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.
