River House Lodge

📍 27 Visarend St, Malelane

★★★★ 8.7 (45 reviews)

"Stayed at the newly renovated lodge and couldn't praise it more. The rooms are bigger than before and the layout has changed with the rooms having everything you need (inclding small touches like fresh milk and cafetiere). However, the star attraction is the lodge balcony which reaches out to the river, where you can sit and eat breakfast or dinner - or just relax with the free to use binoculars. On arrival there were elephant and hippos just roaming below. There is an abundance of wildlife for you to view roaming by. The meals were first class and Johan with his team make sure you are taken care of. The final bonus is the short drive to Malalane gate for quick access to Kruger for self drive or Eswatini is a simple drive away."

Pestana Kruger Lodge ★★★★

"We spent two nights at the lodge. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the Crocodile River. We were able to watch hippopotami from our balcony in the river and foraging on the bankside. The room was large and the bed comfortable. It is in need of some refreshing and I saw a sign that stated that this was planned for 2026. The food was nothing special but plentiful, we were unable to eat all the food to us. The staff were helpful but the hotel could use some maintenance, for example, the pool needed some cleaning. Overall though, it was a good but not luxurious experience."

River House Lodge ★★★★

"The people in the river house are incredibly friendly and helpful. The views on the river and the animals inside the water or on the other side of the river (e.g. hippos, water buffalos) from the lodge are breath taking. "

Hamiltons Lodge & Restaurant ★★★★

"I have stayed at Hamiltons Lodge on a number of occasions. The location is perfect for the entry to the Kruger National Park, literally 1km to Malelane Gate. The restaurant has a great selection of items on the menu for all tastes. The lodge rooms are just perfect, big comfy beds and spotlessly clean. The staff deliver 5/5 customer service. This lodge delivers on all levels and I would not hesitate in recommending it"
