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.
