Children’s Policy and Rates: Age restrictions do exist and are applied in the interests of personal safety as
well as the comfort of other guests.

MalaMala Main Camp welcomes children of all ages. Children under 12 years, sharing accommodation with
full paying adults, pay the quoted child tariff. Children aged four and under are not permitted to dine in the

Family rooms may be used as a triple or a quad room to accommodate children – the sitting room / area is

On arrival, the ranger hosting the family will assess the age, enthusiasm and independence of the children
and in collaboration with the parents and guardians, various activities will be offered.

A MalaMala backpack including an interactive checklist are given to each child between the ages of 4 & 12.

The ranger hosting the family will, throughout their stay, offer some of the following activities :

1.   The tracking of various animals from their
     spoor markings
2.   Teach basic survival skills (where to find water,
     what plants are good to eat, medicinal uses of
     plants, the toothbrush and toilet paper trees)
3.   Warning signs of dangerous animals and first aid for
     emergency situations in the bush
