Riverview Inn, hotel in Malelane

Located in Malelane, 8.1 miles from Leopard Creek Country Club, Riverview Inn provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant.

The view was amazing. From the first minute we arrived, we could spot hippos, elephant, warthogs, or waterbuck on the river bank. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. The room is basic and matched the pictures - no surprises. It was cleaned daily with towels and water resupplied. Wifi was good and even worked on the terrace.

River House Lodge, hotel in Malelane

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

Fabulous setting overlooking the Crocodile river providing viewing of game as they come down to the water. We saw a large group of hippo grazing on the bank before entering the water. Super friendly staff and management who cater to your every need. Klein Johan and Adri went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Samuel in the kitchen is a treasure. The home-stead is packed with memorabalia with historical significance. We would definitely stay again.

Serenity Mountain and Forest Lodge, hotel in Malelane

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

The Serenity Lodge lies apart from the city and all the turmoil and you are more than allowed to calm down and enjoy the forest and weather. The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Prices for activities were fair, the food (breakfast and dinner) was delicious and our lodge was located near to the restaurant, and parking area. Some guests are complaining about the gravel road. The road is ~ 16 km long and hardly doable without an SUV. We drove a Toyota Corolla Quest and needed almost an hour for the way. We would recommend a better car than ours. Due to the fact that the lodge is completely transparent about the road and assists you with help, there's no reason to complain about the road.

    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...

    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

    Just an incredible hotel. The staff is very friendly and the view from the hotel just breathtaking (crocodile river). You can see a lot of animals here...Also the hotel restaurant has a good small menu. The cost-effectiveness is unbeatable, so do not hesitate to book this hotel. The Malelane Gate is reachable in 10 minute by car. It was the third time for me at the Kruger Nationalpark, but this was defintitely the best hotel I‘ve ever had here...

    This hotel has an amazing garden, terrace and restaurant area overlooking the Crocodile River on the perimeter of Kruger Park. The views are spectacular and you can observe many birds and animals. The highlight for us was watching a herd of elephants including some very young calves coming to the river to drink. Accommodation and parking were perfect and the staff were really welcoming and helpful. We are looking forward to visiting again!

    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.

    was an easy check-in, and very hospitable host. The location is excellent in Malelane, close to all amenities but private as well, and close to the Kruger park. We departed early, and the host offered to prepare a breakfast pack - which was very kind of them.
