    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...

    The Riverview Inn is located on the crocodile river and close to the Malelane Gate. 5 minutes after arriving to the Inn, we saw crocodile, a big herd of elephants as well as a mother and baby Hippo. The Location is perfect and i would recommend it to anyone travelling to the area. The view from the Inn is spectacular... The host as well as the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

    WOW! This was our first night in Kruger, it is situated right next to the malelane gate. We had a complementary refreshment at reception during check in. we had a wonder onto the balcony and we could see elephants in the distant! Rooms are perfect. We also had dinner at the restaurant, food was great, staff were lovely. It was the perfect start to our Kruger adventure.

    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 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.

    Place of passage in a quiet position not too far from Kruger's Malelane gate. The property offers everything you need. The room is clean and with enough space. Breakfast not included, however not too expensive and very good. Parking space inside the structure.
