It’s rare that you come across a safari experience that meets all of the requirements for a seasoned wildlife photographer. Well, look no further than the MalaMala & Mashatu photo tour. MalaMala arguably offers Africa’s most consistent big game safari experience. Mashatu is a scenic splendour and allows you to photograph wildlife at eye-level from within their renowned photo hide.
This is one of Wild Eye's most riveting safari offerings. Mala Mala is one of Africa's first safari camps and teems with history. It's home to arguably the most incredible lion, leopard & hyena viewing experiences in Africa. A safari experience based at Mala Mala within the Sabi Sands will certainly leave a lasting impression.
Mashatu might not date back as far as Mala Mala but it certainly holds its own when it comes to the wildlife experience. It also boasts a dense predator experience. What makes Mashatu unique is that it offers a special photographic hide experience, a hide producing sightings that out classes just about any other hide on African soil. By combining Mala Mala & Mashatu you’re setting yourself up for a big game safari experience second to none!
