Mala Mala Private Game Reserve
Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa
Mala Mala Private Game Reserve is situated in the north eastern part of South Africa in the province of Mpumalanga, and shares a common border with the Kruger National Park of over 19kms. Situated between the Kruger Park and the Sabi Sand Game Reserve MalaMala is thus part of a conservation gene pool inhabiting 2.5 million hectares of land in the South African lowveld. Mala Mala Game Reserve is 16,000 hectares in size with the Kruger National Park almost 2,000,000 ha. There are no fences between the Kruger Park and MalaMala, with the animals free to roam between the reserves.
This low lying region contains various habitats, ranging from riverine thicket to open savannah. Historically, malaria mosquitoes and tsetse flies, kept man out of the area, nature consequently flourished without man's disturbance. When malaria prophylaxis were introduced, tsetse flies eliminated and Kruger Park proclaimed as a wildlife preserve, the area subsequently has won world wide acclaim for having the greatest number of wild animal species in one area, on the African continent. The Sand River flows north to south through the MalaMala Game Reserve for 20 kilometres and is a big draw for herds of game from both Mala Mala and Kruger National Park.
