About Us
A legacy of nature lovers
HOW WE STARTED
Heartfelt hospitality in the bushveld
Malena Game Lodge was founded by Fanus and Kittie Booysen, former educators whose love for the Marico bushveld led them to create a sanctuary where guests can enjoy themselves in nature’s beauty. What started as a dream to share their passion for wildlife and hospitality has blossomed into Malena, a welcoming retreat where everyone is embraced with warmth and a heartfelt commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.
