We spent four days in Mala Mala and had Ranger Ant leading our tour every day. It was the most wonderful experience. The food was just spectacular and different every day, with one breakfast made out on the land with Ant cooking in frying pans, etc. Our accommodations were amazingly comfortable and luxurious, yet fit into the camp setting. Ant... More

Service, sightings and accommodation were exceptional. I especially appreciated the in depth knowledge and attentive care provided by Ranger Mike Morreira! A master of his craft. All in all a must for anyone who has the privilege of staying at this magical African haven xxx More

We stayed at Rattray's for four nights on our third safari vacation and it was nothing short of exceptional. The rooms are fantastic, the game viewing is second to none and all of the staff were very attentive. I would definitely recommend them as a great place to stay on safari. More

This was our first stop on the safari portion of 15 days in southern Africa and the property was by far the nicest that we visited. The rooms are spacious with two full bathrooms, flat screen tv and wi fi. Our guide was Gordon and he was fantastic: knowledgable way beyond his years. Overall an A+ experience. More

We spent three days and nights at Rattrays in Mala Mala. The moment you arrive you realise this is a very special place, the lodge sits perfectly in its bush setting and the staff certainly make sure you have a truly memorable experience. The Khayas were amazing, with every luxury you could ever need, in fact probably a lot more... More

An incredible experience was had at Rattray's on MalaMala! From the stunning British Colonial Villas to the awesome Big Five!!!!!! Every day we saw lions and leopards, and more. The big cats are what fascinates me. We had breakfast in the bush everyday! Loved the 3 wk. old Land Rovers. The food was very good! Can't wait to return someday... More

nice private reserve so not too much crowding of jeeps which is really what you're paying for. rooms nice (free internet at satellite tv, etc), but doesn't feel like you're in nature. they won't do walking safaris. staff is a little cold - kind of like 'safari robots' - they don't do anything wrong, it's just a little blah. food...
