Lodges in Malelane

The food was world class. Fantastic accommodation. Being able to go hiking in a safe and stunning environment was apsolutely amazing. All the staff we came across were extremely friendly and accommodating.

We have a great time, the tracker and the guide were great, the lodge is very nice, everyone super friendly, the food was good

I’ll start by saying that this is the best place to stay in Kruger. Although I was initially skeptical about the 5-star rating, I was quickly proven wrong upon our arrival. Location The lodge is situated in the southern part of Kruger, an area particularly rich in wildlife, and overlooks a vast river. From here, you can observe impalas, crocodiles, elephants, and hippos. The view is simply breathtaking! Accommodation We spent two nights in a beautiful room on the first floor, with a magnificent view of the river. It was truly a dream come true. The room was spacious and equipped with every imaginable comfort, including a shower, bathtub, and two sinks, all with a river view. An unforgettable experience. Services and Dining The service provided by the staff was impeccable; everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The afternoon tea in the common area was much appreciated, and the delicious dinners outdoors with a river view deserve special mention. Safari Experience The highlight of our vacation was the full-day safari, accompanied by an exceptional guide who was a biology graduate and deeply passionate about wildlife. Her expertise allowed us to deepen our understanding of every animal we encountered, offering us the chance to calmly observe every detail of life in the park, without rushing (unlike other safaris where you simply take a photo and move on). Overall, staying at Buhala was the most extraordinary experience of our entire vacation. I highly recommend it, as it is a much more intimate lodge compared to others we visited. Later on, we stayed in other lodges, but none were comparable to this one, neither in terms of quality nor price (we paid more for places of lower quality).

Spacious rooms, warm (in winter), helpful stuff, great restaurant, excellent place

Everything was excellent and nice. We did enjoyed being here a lot, service is highly appreciated

Wonderful view, excellent breakfast! Unique place...the best South Africa lodge!!

The hospitality was exceptional, Sbusiso went an extra mile to make our kids experience the best holiday, the companion and walks. Carrot and Apollo were a great hosts too. The food was great. The overall experience was heart warming, the tranquility ans calmness the venue offers melted our hearts. We will definitely visit again

Loved the whole experience. It was our first getaway at a provate lodge and we loved every minute of it. From the setting, special attention to detail, the staff going above and beyond and the bonus of seeing the big 5 and some very rare animals.

beautiful venue with friendly staff - and amazing food!

We liked everything. Very polite staff,amazing place with an amazing garden by a river. We had private breakfast and dinner which are a must!!! however the place was excellent equipped if you want to prepare something by yourself.
