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.

    We stayed over at Riverview Inn on our way in and again a few nights later, out of Kruger National Park. It felt like we had added two nights to our visit to the park, as if we were still somewhere inside Kruger on the banks of a major river with no sound or sight or thought of the so-called civilization outside. Dinner was provided on time and on the deck over-looking the Crocodile River. The food was expertly prepared by Sindile and Nhlanhla and their friendly staff. Well done guys and girls!!

    We were pleasantly surprised to see animals from the Kruger National Park across the Crocodile River as soon as we opened the patio door upon arrival!!! The view was spectacular! It was not very busy during our stay, and the staff frequently asked if we needed anything, whenever they saw us. We did not spend a lot of time at the premises, since we spent our time in the Kruger Park. Appreciated the aircon in the room after a long, hot day!

    It was a self catering set-up. One of the best vacation in terms of accommodation, the rooms, Wi-Fi and the interior décor was perfect very relaxing. we are surely going to visit again. Our aim was to visit the Kruger National park and the Malelane gate was a few minutes away. a variety of food outlets and supermarket were at our disposal. We were able to use the braai facility and the pool. .

    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.

    No breakfast supplied but but there are places close by to buy it as mentioned. The place is close to most shops/ mall. Rooms are big enough. Very friendly staff. The Kruger National park gate not far off but book in advance to avoid disappointment or you will be returned at the gate. I also liked their swimming pool and braai place.
