8.4 (53 reviews)

Kruger View Chalets ★★★★

📍 Opdraend St, Malelane

"Staff was friendly and always helpful. Some details lacking from expectation, and cleanliness can be improved especially in the shower area."

Pestana Kruger Lodge
7.6 (63 reviews)

Pestana Kruger Lodge ★★★★

📍 R570 Riverside Road, Malelane

"I attended a conference/ retreat for 3 days. My experience at the Pestana Kruger Lodge was truly amazing. Located far from the busy town so it's really private and safely guarded. The rooms are clean and spacious and everything works perfectly. The quality of the buildings is amazing and the structures are quite artistic as well. The view is truly out of this world. It's quiet and beautiful...very calming atmosphere and the sound of the water flowing was so soothing and peaceful. The staff was so kind and very helpful. The game drive was late so we didn't see many animals but everything else was top tier. I'd do it again a million times. Thank you so much to the team and may God bless you."

Kruger View Chalets ★★★★
"This place is a hidden gem, close to stores and restaurants, the service received was excellent, but more so the kindness of the staff is incredibly impressive. The restaurant on site is also well managed and the chef goes out of his way to ensure that food is of the highest quality. We are so grateful to have come across this little gem. A mere 10 minutes from the kruger park gate too, however animals do frequent the banks of the river daily too. "

Pestana Kruger Lodge ★★★★
"We celebrated our honeymoon at Pestana Kruger Lodge this week and it was amazing. The staff always greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond making us feel so special and spoiled us. The food and drinks were always delicious and tasty. We loved the spa and went everyday for a treatment during our stay. Thank you Pestana and team."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the River House Lodge and honestly didn't want to leave. The location is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our entire visit. Everything just came together perfectly.

Hamiltons Lodge & Restaurant ★★★★
"This is such a perfect place to stay if you are visiting the Kruger National Park. The lodge is situated circa 1.5km from the Malelane gate entrance. The rooms are really spacious with a large walk-in shower and extremely comfortable beds. WI-FI and air-con works perfectly in the room. There's a safe and they have a great selection of TV channels. I was there when the 2026 football World Cup was on!! Breakfast is fantastic, the restaurant menu is extensive, go for the belly pork or prawns!!! they are exceptional dishes! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they cannot do enough for you. As I was a solo traveler, I felt extremely welcomed here. I cannot recommend this lodge highly enough 10/10. Keep up the great work. I'm sure I will return again sometime "
