The 'New' Sable Camp
The re-imagination of MalaMala is progressing well, with the completion of phase 1, and we’re delighted to share the first “official” images of the new-look Sable Camp with you.
We’re thrilled with the outcome, and we believe we’ve achieved a delicate balance of old and new, classic and contemporary. Most importantly, we’ve succeeded in preserving the soul and heritage of the camp, while at the same time introducing a fresher and sharper feel.
MalaMala has always had a uniquely African character and, as the images below demonstrate, we’ve stayed true to our roots.

This is neatly summarised in the camp layout below:
We are very proud of the fact that in the five months since the re-imagination started, we have not had a single guest complaint, only compliments. That said, there is no room for complacency and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that our guest experience is not compromised in any way.
