Blokhutten Mala Mala Game Reserve

Sunrise at the Earth Lodge Sabi Sabi Game Reserve. Game drives start bright and early with coffee and danishes at 5:00 a.m. Departures at 5:30 a.m.

The tree seen silhouetted is The Marula Tree and has a history as a source of nutrition dating back to 10,000 years B.C. and it is certainly one of Africa's botanical treasures.
The multiple uses of the tree, it's bark, leaves, fruit, nut and kernels are legendary. My favorite is when the fruit ripens and drops to the ground and lightly ferments ... the elephants, giraffes, warthogs, and other animals get wasted and the party gets started safari style !

The fruits are a good food source and high in vitamin C.
The skin can be boiled to make a drink or burnt to be used as a substitute for coffee.
The wood is soft for carving
The inner bark can be used to make rope and for making dye
They produce small tasty nuts which are rich in protein.
The Oil is used as a skin cosmetic.
Their green leaves are eaten to relieve heartburn.
The bark contains antihistamines

The fruit can also be cooked to produce jam, juices and alcoholic beverages like "Amarula" a delicious South African Cream Liqueur that substrates just fine for coffee creamer any time of the day as far as I'm concerned. It also is used to brew a very tasty, potent South African moonshine known locally as "Mampoer" after a local Chief who favored it. It is said to make grown men weep.

the Venda people of Southern Africa maintain that bark infusions can be used to determine the gender of an unborn child. If a woman wants a son the male tree is used, and for a daughter, the female tree. If the child of the opposite gender is born, the child is said to be very special as it was able to defy the spirits.

Oh, and did I mention it sacred.

'To start of with and most important: the staff is simply amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and Angel and Aldine made us feel right at home. They catered to our every need and are simply such lovely people that talking to then brings a smile to your face. Our ranger Sipho made sure everyone was comfortable and took us on amazing game drives. With his remarkable ability to spot anything and track animals we did not miss any wildlife. Amazingly enough he even tracked down a white rhino. All staff is...

'All of the rooms were beautifully renovated. The food was incredible, everyone in the staff went out of their way to make sure that guests were happy, and they called everyone by name. The Safari rides were over the top and our guide Stuart and his tracker Colin were very knowledgeable and professional. The jeeps were brand new and very comfortable. We were sad to leave after an incredible 3 night stay at Leopard Hills.'

'Where to start? The game drives were outstanding as was the food. Our guide/tracker was very knowledgable and did an effort to find as much wildlife as he could. But at the same time, he ensured that we were all ok and loved to crack a joke every now and then. It made our game drives very special. The rooms were large with a view over the river. All of them had a private plunge pool and a private deck. During the drives, the rooms were made up very nicely which made us feel at home. And then...
