Holiday to MalaMala Rattray's Camp
The property and location in the Sabi Sands is special. Our game driver., Fritz, was a absolutely outstanding. Knowledgeable and personal. He made our experience. My only negative comment and reason for 4/5, the food was only fair at dinner.
8 single family homes beautifully appointed with his and hers bathrooms, AC, deck, pool, laundry
service included. Very spacious for 2 people. Food in the common area dining room was of 5 star
quality.
