We were there for a very short stay but seriously regretted not being able to enjoy the property properly because it was absolutely way more than what we had expected. The staff was amazing catering to the needs of our huge group

What an absolutely stunning gem! It was so beautiful and refreshing. A private and gorgeous home away from home
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.
We stayed over at Riverview Inn on our way in and again a few nights later, out of Kruger National Park. It felt like we had added two nights to our visit to the park, as if we were still somewhere inside Kruger on the banks of a major river with no sound or sight or thought of the so-called civilization outside. Dinner was provided on time and on the deck over-looking the Crocodile River. The food was expertly prepared by Sindile and Nhlanhla and their friendly staff. Well done guys and girls!!
It is being in the Kruger National Park without having to pay park fees!!
Right on the Southern banks of the Crocodile river, the Croc River lapa is a place to visit again and again. There is peace to be found in the quiet when you sit on the veranda gazing out over the river and the abundant wildlife comes and goes in regular in intervals. See hippo, crocs, waterbuck, impala, warthog, elephants, other species and the occasional predator on the river while sitting on the veranda.
This is an awesome location from which to explore Kruger national Park. It is just 10 minutes drive from Malelane Gate, which is less crowded than some. The amazing thing is you practically don't need to leave the hotel because the park is right across the river. From the deck of the hotel we saw a rhino grazing right on the shore, elephants, 3 sets of mother with baby hippos, (who've made this spot their little nursery), monkeys, impala, waterbuck, and numerous types of birds.
The location is calming and surreal. The staff is amazing. The food is beautiful and tasty. The Chalets are lovely with a large bath and shower and a 270 degree view from the big bed. Restaurant area is wonderful with a bar, pool and lovely seating. We spotted buck, giraffes, butterflies, monkeys and more within the property. Kruger National Park Malelane gate is about 10 mins away excluding the time to drive the dirt road.
Amazing property!
We were staying here while on a visit to Kruger.
The location was just perfect. so close to Melalane gate . The restaurant packed us a lovely breakfast for our early start for the day.
The rooms were bare minimum but were exactly what we needed - comfortable & clean.
We also had dinner at the restaurant - tasty food & great service.
Amazing location, right on the river watching Kruger and the animals around (crocodiles, elephants, Kudus, birds). Beatiful place, with a nice pool and a vast grass place and spots to sit with a glass of wine watching the river and animals.
Intimate room with a nice porch and a fire place that they light in the evening. The morning tour was amazing!
This accommodation was perfect for our visit to Kruger Park. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The Lodge is only about a 15 minute drive to the Malelane gate and located on the Crocodile River. The restaurant has the most spectacular views of the river with sunsets that did not disappoint. The food was excellent and exceeded our expectation.
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.
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.
View was very good, loved the birdlife and hippos. Was very impressed that a generator was activated during loadshedding. Loved the idea of the breakfast pack that they provided on the days when we travelled in the Kruger park
Great views (both from the room balcony and the viewing deck) over looking the Crocodile River into the Kruger National Park. Beautifully maintained gardens. The staff is very accommodating and friendly.
Loved the Buffet Dinner, Good food and affordable too! Loved the location, right next to Malelalane gate to Kruger! Loved the river view from the hotel restaurant. Nice pool, even though I didn't swim.
The hosts are great and very welcoming. The apartment is situated in a very safe neighborhood and is perfectly located near to the Malelane Gate of Kruger - so perfect for an early game drive.
On the banks of the Crocodile River - it felt like you were IN the Kruger Park. Super comfortable thatch lodge that feels warm and inviting. I could have spent a month there.
