It’s conveniently located: all the main tourist attractions are a short drive away, but on the days you want to rest, the wildlife comes to your doorstep. The property itself is very comfortable and beautifully appointed. The owners are charming and the staff super nice and friendly. The breakfast is copious and you can also dine at the lodge for an extra charge which is convenient if you don’t want to go out.

The location & style of the accommodation were perfect and so romantic. Nyarai and the staff were nice and gentle! Our stay was so great we wouldn’t leave and will come back for sure as soon as we can. The cuisine on offer at Moya is so delicate and sophisticated, with a chef and his assistant who take the time to explain everything and lead the way with brio! We enjoyed every moment of it. Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, where the Moya is, is really safe and you can see many animals 🤩 Thank you Nyarai and the team! You rock 🤩

We stayed three nights in Elephant Walk tented camp and for us it was a real discovery. The lodge is situated just 200 meters from the Crocodile bridge and 300 meters from the Krüger Park Crocodile bridge gate. The lodge is situated at the Crocodile River with the Krüger Park at the other side of the river. So it is a beautiful location and for the game drives in Krüger it is just a very short drive. It used to be an existing lodge with a small capacity. But recently they build a brand-new beautiful building with restaurant, terrasses with river view and luxury living space. We had the privilege of being the very first guests in the new configuration. The 12 tents are beautiful decorated with comfortable beds, nice bathroom, air-condition etc. The kitchen is very good, and the staff does everything to make your stay enjoyable. Due to the very short distance to the Kruger gate you are quickly in the park and the game drives were very nice with Simon as an experienced ranger In our view the prices are moderate for what is offered. We really enjoyed every minute of our stay in Elephant Walk tented Camp and we will be back.

We spent 2 nights in Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful food, service, exclusivity and personal attention. Our ranger, Marius was exceptional and made every game drive and our walking safari unforgettable. His trackers, Elvis and Misha was just as amazing with their knowledge of the animals and the bush. We saw 3 of the 5 "big five" in just 1.5 days of being there, thanks to these guys. The food and service at the lodge was beyond our expectations in every way. I was a vegetarian and they catered for me with exceptional skill and charm. The food was really outstanding, thank you Glenda and team! Our other hosts, Desmond and MJ looked after every detail and made our stay wonderful. Our room was large, luxurious and comfortable. We each had a great massage too (thank you Lerato), in a space where you can watch giraffes walk by... The setting of this private lodge is amazing, you overlook a river with giraffes and elephants walking by. We even had a hyena come close to us while sitting around the camp fire - so special. This was a once in a life time experience and we hope to be back again soon!

FAQs about hotels in Kruger National Park

Spectacular Stomping Ground of the Big Five

Covering almost 2 million hectares, Kruger is South Africa’s most important national park and is home to the Big Five: lion, African elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. In the country’s north-eastern corner, by the Swaziland and Mozambique borders, it also sees giraffe, zebra, hyena and crocodile (to name but a few) grace its watering holes and rivers.

Of the 8 South African gates to the park, Crocodile Bridge Gate is closest to Marloth Park and Komatipoort, both housing a good selection of game lodges and hotels near Kruger National Park. To the west, the farming town of Malelane has its own gate.

Kruger Mpumalanga Airport is the region’s main entry point and nearby Nelspruit has the greatest concentration of luxury Kruger Park hotels on Booking.com. The Numbi Gate is around an hour’s drive away, via the town of White River. Also near this gate is Hazyview, while Sabie to the west is peacefully located by a river fed by waterfalls.

A waterfall also plunges to the gorge floor in Graskop to the north, while Hoedspruit is closest to the wonderful Blyde River Canyon. Ha-Lambani has the northernmost Kruger Park accommodation and Phalaborwa to the south has a park gate. Further south are the Timbavati and Balule games reserves, while Skukuza is in the heart of the park, near the main gate.

This was our first time doing a safari and it would take a lot to top it! Jordan and Bernard were our safari guides/trackers, they found the big 5 within our first 2 days. They both had great stories to tell and we had a good laugh together! Beyond the drives, the food and the pools at the resort were amazing. We watching a group of 6+ elephants playing in the water whilst we watched from the pool! The lodge was so easy to reach from the airport in Hoedspruite we were picked up from right outside and it only took around 25 minutes to get to the lodge. Overall amazing experience!

1. Marloth Park is an excellent location to visit the Kruger National Park, with a short drive to the crocodile bridge. 2. Limited options in the way of restaurants and what is offered is not great. 3. Limited options for shopping for essentials. There is a SPAR, but if you catch it during the wrong time of day, prepare to que. 4. There is family run retail store called INGWE supermarket. Very friendly and I suggest trying the koeksisters. 5. BOMA Butchery is in the same shopping park and have a good selection of meats for the braai. 6. If at all possible, take everything with you in cooler boxes, especially the items you cannot live without as you may not find them. Overall Marloth park is simply an excellent gateway into the Kruger National Park.

A great location for some rest and relaxation. I went on a Big 5 safari game drive, and got to see the animals up close. I also had a heavenly spa experience at Karuna, and visited the nearby reptile park to see some rare snake species. Lots of restaurants around to try out a variety of meals, I went to the Club House and had tasty ribs. Then the breakfast at Aragula is to die for.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Rating: ★★★★☆ Natural Beauty and Great Dining Marred by Neglected Infrastructure The Skukuza area remains one of the most stunning regions of Kruger National Park. Despite some operational challenges, the sheer abundance of wildlife—ranging from massive elephant herds to frequent lion and leopard sightings along the Sabie River—is breathtaking. Wildlife and Natural Beauty The scenery is spectacular, especially the riverine forests along the Sabie and Sand River loops, which are prime spots for game viewing. Even from within the camp, you can often see hippos and crocodiles in the river below. Nearby Lake Panic is a must-visit for birdwatchers and photographers seeking a peaceful atmosphere. Dining Highlights Skukuza offers some of the best dining variety in the park: Kruger Station: This unique lifestyle precinct is built into a beautifully restored historical train station. You can dine inside old train carriages or on the deck. The menu is diverse, featuring standout items like venison pies and artisan pizzas. Cattle Baron Steakhouse: Known for its "grilled perfection," this is the go-to spot for a quality steak. The large outdoor deck overlooking the river provides one of the best dining views in the entire park.

Malelane town itself is ok - good food shopping available. Its benefit is its proximity to Kruger National Park. Would recommend Hamiltons restaurant not far from the park gate and The Deck a bit further along Crocodile river with great views of the river.

Waterval Self-Catering Holiday Home exceeded all our expectations! The house is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and stress-free stay. From the cozy bedrooms to the fully stocked kitchen, every detail has been thoughtfully prepared. What makes this place truly special is its breathtaking natural setting. Surrounded by peaceful scenery, with the sound of flowing water and the sight of abundant birdlife, it felt like the perfect escape from the busy world. We enjoyed relaxing outdoors, having a braai, and soaking up the tranquility while still being close to shops and attractions when needed. The hosts were welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home while giving us the privacy to enjoy the property at our own pace. It’s ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples looking for a romantic getaway. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and eager to return. If you’re looking for a hidden gem that combines comfort, beauty, and warm hospitality, Waterval Self-Catering Holiday Home is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Crossing the border at RSA side is sickening and wonder why no one does anything about it. I am sure the guest lodges are losing business as no body wants to cross the MOZ/RSA border. I think all the guest lodge owners and the shop owners should take it up with the authorities.
