    aaa Malamala reserve, Greater Limpopo transfrontier park – between Sabi sands and the Kruger

    Malamala reserve, Limpopo Transfrontier park

    Established back in 1927, initially as a hunting reserve, it has been purely with a camera since 1964. Relatively small, only covering 62 square miles, it is sandwiched between the Kruger and the Sabi sands game reserve. As such, the game is incredibly dense.

    There most luxury suites in each camp is 10, across all three camps so  if every single one is inhabited, a large so called traffic jam would not stop you seeing the wildlife. Unlike in the Kruger itself, you are not restricted to roads, which means often very close encounters., it also make 62 square miles an enormous area to explore with your guide.

    Fitzpatrick at Jock

    Fitzpatrick at Jocks

    Fitzpatrick at Jocks is a small lodge perfect for groups and hired exclusively to one group at a time. Consisting of 3 Luxurious suites each with its own viewing deck. This allows people to enjoy the luxury of a lodge, but with the intimacy of being just a small group.

    Lying in the game dense south of the Kruger national park, this private concession covers around 23 miles which only your group and the main lodge will have access to. The lodge is built on the river bank, which means that often the wildlife will come to visit you so you can enjoy watching the world go by from the comfort of your suite.

    Beautifully equipped and set up for a group of up to 6 to share, this is an incredible place for friends to go together or for family time away from everyone else.

    With places to eat inside and out, and with its own staff, a visit can be fully molded around the group visiting- both in terms of food preference and activities.

    Things to do include bush drives, bush walks (which will include learning the beginning of tracking) sun downer drinks in the bush, as well as time simply relaxing in the lodge.

    Being in a game rich part of the park, it is also wonderful to lay back on a lounger and watch the animals move past.

    The above video gives you a good introduction to the lodge and the area around it.

    Below is a more detailed look at the lodge and the feel of the place.

    Silvan Safari Lodge

    Silvan Safari Lodge

    Silvan Safari lodge lies in the northern portion of the Sabi Sands private reserve.

    It is the newest luxury lodge, sitting within the Leadwood forests and beside the waters of the Manyeleti River. It also won the leading world lodge in 2019 from world travel awards.

    The Sabi Sands is particularly game rich, especially with the big cats. While you will definitely see these on game drives, you may also spot them walking past the lodge.

    With just 6 spacious fabulous suites, and a family unit, even when full it is never going to feel crowded, and giving fantastic views out into the bush around it.

    With places to eat the incredible food both inside and out, and afterwards plenty of space you can choose how to spend your evenings. 

    Also expect incredible food and drinks sun-downers out in the bush on your evening drives

    Lying in the northern sabi sands, this is a less densely visited area. While this means that there are fewer people so it will feel more truly wild, it also means there are less other cars to direct to wild animals.

    However I would always choose fewer people. If your vehicle is the first down a road in the morning, or for a long time there will be many tracks to spot, as well as on occasions lions stretched out on the ground. As there are few people in the area it is also highly likely that you will often be in the first vehicle on the road each morning on your morning game drive.

    The “rooms” are individual suites (6 standard and one family suite) stretched out along the banks of a dry river bed (apart from perhaps after extreme rain, although the water is not visible much of the time, there will be water underground. This means that there will be many large trees around this area- attracting many animals to eat and leopards to rest up in the trees.

    Below is a video of one of the suites, There are a few videos of silvan safaris including other suites that are available.

    From delicious food, and incredible accommodation, to incredible trips out on foot or in the car, and with the ability to tailor your visit to meet your interest. With all of the luxuries available but surrounded by the incredible wildlife of Africa.

    Each suite comes with a plunge pool allowing you to soak during the hot periods of the day, as you watch the wilderness wander past.

    The pricing starts from for this luxurious destination.

    Jock Safari Lodge

    Jock Safari Lodge

    Jock Safari Lodge lies in the south west of the Kruger national park, on a 6000 hectare exclusive concession.

    This part of the park is one of the most game dense within the park. However, coupled with the exclusive rights given to guests of the property, you can experience them without the traffic jams that occur on the roads in the surrounding area.

    This leads to a wonderful laid back life. Whether sitting in the lodge or out on a drive or on foot, you never know what is going to happen next.

    With incredible views in all directions, the house has been designed with plenty of places to sit comfortably and watch the world go by, when you are not out exploring the park

    Sweni lodge

    Sweni Lodge

    Set high on the banks of the Sweni river in the world famous Sabi Sands, the Sweni lodge is a place of safety to enjoy the wilderness around.

    Overlooking the Sweni river, evening can be spent in the pool, or sitting out on the deck watching all the wildlife wandering by.

    Apart from seeing the animals by in and around the river, this placement also means you are surrounded by large trees which only grow on the around the water. This ensures plenty of shade and lower temperatures, but it also means that monkeys and other animals that live in woodland also come close.

    Sweni Lodge is set within the Sweni concession, an area of around 55 square miles only accessible to guests at Sweni lodge and its sister lodge Lembombo. Sweni lodge only has seven suites so even when full will not feel crowded. With Lembombo only being a bit bigger than Sweni, out on game drives you will often have animals to yourself – something that if you have experienced the Kruger next door is a real treat and in most reserves very rare.

    Sweni lodge is an incredibly comfortable place to stay, and you can expect incredible food and drink while you are there, but people go on safari to see the animals and at Sweni they can be seen all around the lodge. The lodge is full of people who love the bush and wish to share their passion with everyone who visits. Expect many incredible encounters and to come back knowing more than when you went.
