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.

Kruger Southern Cross, hotel in Malelane

Providing a garden, Kruger Southern Cross provides accommodations in Malelane. The air-conditioned accommodation is 3.4 miles from Leopard Creek Country Club.

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.

    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.

    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 hotel is quite delightful, with the proprietors ensuring we felt thoroughly at home, consistently enquiring after our well-being. Both dinner and breakfast were splendid. The rooms are charming, affording us a splendid view of Kruger Park, alongside the river teeming with various animals. This stands as one of the finest services I have ever experienced. The staff were exceedingly courteous and always greeted us with a smile.

    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!

    The property is located right next to the Crocodile river. There are always some wildlife present to observe and enjoy. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is good for the price and the room has a exceptional view of the Kruger National Park. The nearest gate to the Kruger National Park is only 15mins away from the property.

    Excellent location, about 12-15 min drive to the Kruger Malelane gate. Beautiful area, very clean and neat, comfortable bed & excellent kitchen amenities. It would be excellent if the property included a mini splash pool to cool off in. Coffee machine was a bonus along with the complimentary wine, filtered water & chocolates in the fridge!

    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.
