Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.

I had great deal on this property but it got even better when we arrived and met the lovely host Sandi. She's so warm and friendly she made us feel at right at home. Sandi was even nice enough to share her cooking oil. Although the property itself is great, the greatest asset they have is the host. Thank you Sandi and keep up doing the good work.

No breakfast was self catering and the location was perfect. Thank you we will definately stay again
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.
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.
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.
A very lovely quite place to sleepover when heading to kruger. So close to the Malelane gate and very relaxing. The host bought us snacks for the following morning because we left very earltly for kruger.... very friendly and helpfull host.
Room was clean and neat and the bed was big and comfortable. Will go back again when heading into kruger 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.
The location very convenient for Kruger National Park, the rooms were large and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the shared living area was very comfy. There was a nice deck area and access to a backyard garden. The provided homegrown lemons and passion fruit were great. Loadsheeding was barely noticeable.
Lovely spacious rooms, big bathroom with bath and shower, gorgeous view over river into Kruger Park.
Swimming pool and deck with comfortable seating and view of sunset.
Staff were super helpful and cooked delicious dinner.
Loved it. Easy access to Malelane gate for Kruger Park.

The staff was very friendly . Spotless clean facilities . The cleaning staff always enquired if there was anything we required. The Swimming pool was top notch . Kruger national park Malelane gate very close by giving it a perfect location
Amazing place on the bank of Crocodile river. Very close to Malelane gate. You however do not need to enter Kruger, you can just relax on the patio and watch the animals in Kruger Park just across the river. Jabu is a great hostess.
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
Really comfortable stay at a gorgeous location. Infinity and lawn in front of the house is spectacular. Jabu was really helpful, eager and friendly. Conveniently located close to the Malelane Kruger Park Gate.
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.
We loved our stay. We saw hippo, crocodile, impala, elephant, warthog, waterbuck across the Crocodile River in Kruger all from the deck. Enjoyed swimming in the pool and delicious breakfasts!
i booked it very last minute. around 7 pm. owner was kind to check us in.
it's 10 minutes from malelane gate in kruger.

room big and comfortable.
Very fun hotel with a lot of history. Location on the Crocodile river made for wonderful sunsets and animal viewing. This is a great place to start your trip into Kruger National Park.
Thanks for the great take away breakfast

It is on the crocodile river, very close to the Kruger park gate. 5 mins drive. I can spend the whole day on the hotel deck for finding animals. There is always some surprise
