Top Malelane Gate Hotel Reviews

Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I think everything was amazing in this lodge! The cottage that I was had refrigerator, microwave, airfryer, dishes and everything for you to cook by yourself and make your own food (which I think marvelous!). The bed was absolutely comfortable and the location was perfect! near the crocodile river and among many wild animals around."

Kambaku River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our three-night stay at Kambaku River Lodge was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality from Garry that immediately set the tone for the entire experience. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, blending comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views of Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River. We shared the outside space with a few nyalas who took little notice of us! Waking up to the sounds of nature each morning was truly special. What made the stay exceptional, however, was the incredible safari experience. The game drives were expertly guided, with Elvis, our knowledgeable ranger who went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible while also educating us about the ecosystem. Both drives felt unique and exciting. The food was another highlight — consistently delicious, delivered to us by drumbeat, thoughtfully prepared, and enjoyed in a relaxed, scenic setting with a log burner adding to the special atmosphere. Dining under the stars added a magical touch to the evenings. Most of all, the staff made this trip memorable. Their attentiveness, friendliness, and passion for what they do created a welcoming and personal atmosphere throughout our stay. We left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already planning a return visit. Kambaku River Lodge is truly a special place, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly."

Kruger Park Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Best hostel in Kruger!!! Was upgraded to a private room at no additional cost, but also slept in the dorm room for a night and it was great! Rooms are clean, towels are provided, showers are strong, staff is very welcoming!!! People that stay here as guests are also friendly. Dinner is included and pretty good! But the highlight of it all was the 3-day camping trip to Kruger Park. It was my first one, so I didn’t know what to expect, but it was an AMAZING experience! Shoutout to our guide Robert who knew absolutely everything about all the animals in the park, definitely made the trip a lot more interesting!! 10/10 recommend staying here, will definitely be back!!"
