Bordering Kruger National Park, this award-winning country-style lodge is situated in the small town of Malelane and is a great base from which to discover the Bushveld.

Wake up to the sounds of native birds. At River House Lodge you can watch hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat while relaxing in the pool or sunbathing on the large thatched deck. Alternatively, you can marvel at views of the river and national park from the comfort of your private balcony.

It is really perfect place to relax, with very special atmosphere and perfect kitchen

    Owner and manager are very nice. Breakfast and dinner was amazing. The guesthouse is located in a quiet neighborhood. They have a pickup service. If the transfer is within Malalane, it is included in the price.

    Would definitely recommend this place. Joy and Allan are great hosts, happy to help with anything. The check-in was smooth we got there a little earlier than expected and they accommodated us on that. The place is great and relaxing and the Malelane Kruger gate is about 5mins away. Will come back for sure!
