    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.

    I loved to stay at Hhusha Hhusha because the room was cozy, comfortable and very clean. It was very close to Kruger (only 6 km from Malelane Gate) and it was really easy to get there early in the morning. Despite it was a last minute reservation, everything went smooth. The area was very safe and there were supermarkets and a shopping mall in the surroundings. I liked that I could use the private car park that our hosts offered as a facility.

    The cottage deco was out of this world, the colours were calming, ideal for a rest away from the noise & busy streets of Johannesburg. Beautiful gardens with a water feature, could hear the sound of water even at night. The lady working there welcomed us so did the host. We had wifi & it was close to a shopping centre where we could quickly get essentials. Added bonus: It was about 10min drive to the Malelane Kruger Gate!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    In this lodge you have the most amazing view. You can see elephants, hippos e.g. while sitting on the porch or from the pool. The food was very good. The room was nice. The lodge is very close to one of the gates of the Kruger National Park. We stayed there just for one night, however would recommend to stay longer.

    The entire place is raw awesomeness, you're literally sitting at the border of Krüger, with hippos, warthogs, antilopes, and all sorts of animals coming down to the river to drink. Staff is exceptionally nice and helpful, i can only recommend it. gonna definitely return later 🤗👌

    I was attracted to the location of this property next to the Crocodile River and also close to the Malelane Gate of the Kruger Park. The sighting of crocodiles, hippos, impala and a leopard added to the overall experience.
