    Easy access and quick access.

    Easy access and quick access. We went off season but had pre-booked with SANParks, so a word of warning, don't pre-book unless it's high season to guarantee access. It doesn't specify this when booking, so we thought we were paying the conservation fees. You're free to roam around in your own vehicle and don't need an off-roader. There is an abundance of wildlife so you don't even need to stay for 3 days. We went for 2 hours on our own and saw elephants, rhinos, 'pumbas' and impalas. The toilets are few and far between so either go when you find them or you'll have to do it at the side of the road...without straying into the Bush. We then went for a full day with a guide who knows the area better and took us to the watering holes we probably would've never found on our own, where giraffes, wildebeest, hippos and elephants were all hanging out. A note about Malaria: we read that malaria was found around Kruger and had conflicting advice about taking anti-malaria tablets. In the end, we just covered our legs and arms (even though it was hot) and sprayed mosquito repellent with 50% deet. In short, Kruger is a must, but don't expect to see leopards or cheetahs, as they are, quite literally, impossible to 'spot'.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around. I loved the wild life the most, it was pleasant view to watch the birds and animals roaming around freely. The staff at the gate were very friendly and helpful. Wish I had more time to give a constructive review but went to the park for just half a day and managed to see some of the big 5 which was the purpose of my visit.

    There is supermarkets for pre Kruger shopping on the road out of Malalene. Major roadworks taking place out of Malalene. Beware of trucks and drive carefully. Not recommended to drive in the dark while roadworks in place.

    Pastana still remains for me the most affordable best and well managed accommodation in Malelane. The Restuarant always meet my expectation of the wide spread of eats available. Malelane is very easy to navigate. It has all the amenities to accommodate a travelers needs The town is very clean . I would avoid accommodation I have not visited before. A picture tell a thousand tales. But some can be very deceiving and uncomfortable.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing. The only reason for staying in the suburb we stayed in was a) it is outside the town and b) is close to the Kruger Park entrance. We stayed in Mhlathikop suburb, which is nice and can be recommended.

    An amazing place in a great location for visiting Kruger. The room was huge with both a bath and shower, a private outdoor terrace overlooking the Crocodile River and Kruger National Park and a swimming pool. Breakfast was delicious and we ate with a view over the river. The honesty bar and extra tea and coffee making facilities were a lovely touch, along with robes in the room and a spacious fridge. The owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. We only stayed one night but we will definitely be back.

    .The self catering unit had everything I needed. The unit was spotless and cleaned daily. I liked the view of the dam and the mountains from my unit. Reception was friendly and helpful always (engaged with Letta). The checking in and checking out was seemless. Thank you Letta for organising Almond milk for me; highly appreciated as adhering to a vegan diet can be tricky in foreign town. Thank you Jimmy for the game drive at Kruger National Park; the experience was priceless.

    The price we paid included dinner and breakfast the next morning. Really good value for money. The view from our room and then from the deck was absolutely breathtaking. So peaceful to relax and just sit and watch animals on the river banks. Plus a short drive to the Malelane Kruger Gate in the morning makes it very attractive to do it again as we live in Nelspruit and wanted to avoid driving the N4 early in the morning in the dark.

    Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.

    The location very convenient for Kruger National Park, the rooms were large and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the shared living area was very comfy. There was a nice deck area and access to a backyard garden. The provided homegrown lemons and passion fruit were great. Loadsheeding was barely noticeable.

    The river view chalets are well positioned and you can watch animals in the Kruger National Park from your verandah. There are good facilities available for children. The 2-bed chalets are comfortable with both rooms having their own bathroom.

    It was located close to the Malelane gate, so easy to get to the Kruger park. However, it seemed a bit an unsafe area, although we didn't experience any problems when arriving after dark. Secure parking, friendly staff and a huge bed!
