The shine of a big cat’s eyes in the darkness. Movement in the scrub to one side of you. The eerie uncompromising sound of the African bush at night.

Bordering Kruger National Park, Mala Mala is one of the oldest and largest private game reserves in South Africa. Using powerful spotlights the team of professional guides and trackers seek out species only active at night, for a safari experience very different to any daytime drive.

The scrub seems to close in around you. Your senses are limited to the beam of a powerful spotlight cutting through the blackness in search of animals big and small.
