Mala Mala Main Camp is the ideal family destination. Welcoming children of all ages, youngsters are able to participate in a holistic program tailored to suit their needs. According to the staff at Mala Mala,

?With this program we intend to entertain children, but at the same time to educate them about the bush and the wildlife we share our lives with.? Children will always be under the supervision of a responsible ranger while on the program, whether within the confines of the camp, or out in the bush.

The program is geared to children aged 12 years and under. Activities will depend on the time of the year and the number of days the children are in camp. On arrival, the ranger looking after the family will assess the enthusiasm and level of independence of the children, and in collaboration with the parents and guardians, various activities will be designed to fill their next few days in the bush.
