Serenity Mountain and Forest Lodge, hotel in Malelane

Serenity Mountain and Forest Lodge is a hidden gem set amongst 1300 hectares of spectacular African scenery on the outskirts of Kruger National Park.

We loved the fact that our accommodation was right in the middle of a forest. It was very tranquil and refreshing. The layout of the family unit was very practical, with the sleeping quarters completely separate from the boma area. Our family consist of 50% night owls and 50% early risers, and this way we could all get enough sleep. All breakfast options are substantial and delicious. We really enjoyed it. All personnel were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

    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.

    Trying to find a contact person with regards to the booking is impossible. Sometimes in real life, things happen totally out of your control like COVID that was a world wide epidemic and how do a person handle a situation like this? I just had no contact number from Booking.com to assist us and lost the money. This will make me think twice next time I want accommodation Judy 082 335 6423

    .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.

    It was conveniently located near the entrance to Kruger National Park. It has very nice views of the river and even of the park across the river (with seating on a high balcony/patio), where you can view wild animals in the park. They offer half-board options. They were very accommodating to us, as we arrived very late (due to a punctured tire), leaving dinner covered on the table and waiting up for us.

    I loved the look and feel of the place, it's quite secluded area, it was peaceful. The owners were very excellent hosts too. Since it's a self catering, I liked that the shopping center is not that far off. But like us, we love Woolies food, so I advice you buy some very necessary supplies before heading to Malelane. Overall, we had an amazing Baecation there.

    Gideon was a great help. We stayed here for one night before entering Kruger early the following morning. He was more than happy to be woken up at 5am to open the gate for us to take the car and be first in line at the Malelane Gate of Kruger. Room is basic but has everything you need for a short stay; air-con, TV, mini fridge and tea/coffee station.

    No breakfast supplied but but there are places close by to buy it as mentioned. The place is close to most shops/ mall. Rooms are big enough. Very friendly staff. The Kruger National park gate not far off but book in advance to avoid disappointment or you will be returned at the gate. I also liked their swimming pool and braai place.

    Place of passage in a quiet position not too far from Kruger's Malelane gate. The property offers everything you need. The room is clean and with enough space. Breakfast not included, however not too expensive and very good. Parking space inside the structure.
