MalaMala's wildlife wins again! We are delighted to share the wonderful news of yet another acclaim for MalaMala Game Reserve's legendary wildlife experience. "Predators at War", a National Geographic documentary, filmed entirely on location at MalaMala Game Reserve by esteemed directors Jeff Morales and Kim Wolhunter, walked away with 2 awards at the New York Film Festival, as well as a finalist certificate for the best natural history documentary.  "Predators at War" studies the interaction between the various predators on MalaMala.  The wildlife footage is incredible.
