Maloba Private Game Reserve, Kimberley, South Africa
Maloba Private Game Reserve
A refined safari retreat in the heart of South Africa
Out in the quiet plains near Kimberley, the land opens in long stretches of gold and shadow. Here, within a private reserve of twenty thousand hectares, Maloba Private Game Reserve appears almost as a whisper, secluded, sun soaked, and crafted for those who crave space to breathe.
Suites feel carved from the landscape itself. Four Maloba Suites pair king beds with deep freestanding tubs, indoor and outdoor showers, fireplaces, wide terraces and private plunge pools that catch the afternoon heat. The Diamond Suite sits slightly apart, with a larger pool, a private firepit and a dedicated game drive vehicle, an elevated vantage point for watching the bush shift through the day.
The rhythm here is unhurried. Mornings begin with soft light and guided drives across open terrain, where rhino, buffalo, cheetah and rare nocturnal species move with quiet confidence. Evenings return you to the wild in new colours, cool blues, deep ambers, the kind of sky that redraws the horizon.

Our stay at Maloba was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking views and a sense of calm that immediately made us feel at ease. The game drives were a real highlight. The Game Rangers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making each drive both exciting and informative. Seeing such a variety of wildlife in untouched wilderness was an experience we will never forget. The food was absolutely exceptional with every meal being beautifully prepared and truly mesmerising with every bite. It added a special touch to an already incredible stay. What stood out the most, however, was the staff. They are warm, soft-spoken, attentive, and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere throughout our visit. Maloba offers the perfect balance between adventure and tranquility. It is a very special place that we would highly recommend, and we cannot wait to return.
