Malelane Accommodation - Kruger National Park & Lowveld, Mpumalanga
Just 5km north of the small Mpumalanga town of Malelane, the Crocodile River crossing beckons visitors to enter the Kruger National Park Malelane Gate. Kruger Park is rated as the ultimate safari experience, and considered the crown jewel of South African National Parks. This wildlife sanctuary is like no other, covering nearly 2 million hectares of land that stretches for 352 kilometres from north to south along the Mozambique border. Living in this vast open woodland of trees and long grass are the safari Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, and more other species of mammals than any other African game reserve.
One of the original meanings for the world Malelane is the Swazi 'lala', which means to sleep, aptly fitting Malelane, which is the centre of the Mpumalanga sugar cane industry, and also famous for its tropical fruit and Malelane Game Farms. Malelane's hot, sluggish weather during the day, and dark bushveld nights, is where visitors quickly succumb to the languid Malelane lifestyle, and finally unwind from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Known as a birdwatchers' Heaven, Malelane is where raptors perch in the tall, woodland trees, and the Pearl-spotted Owlet announces its presence with a high pitched call. Surrounded by a large variety of indigenous trees and shrubs, Malelane is also the summer residence for Lesser Spotted Eagles, and nesting grounds for the Yellow-billed Kite.
While in Malelane, visit the
Mthethomusha Game Reserve (36km from Malelane accommodation), one of the first Kruger National Park Game Reserves to be established. The Mthethomusha Game Park offers visitors a number of exciting morning and evening game drives in open safari vehicles, taking them through the reserve and into the neighbouring Kruger National Park.
The golf lover will enjoy a round at
Malelane Golf Club, a jewel in the Mpumalanga Lowveld, and a definite 'must play' for every golf enthusiast. This magnificent 9 hole course is situated in the picturesque Onderberg surrounded by a variety of indigenous trees teeming with birdlife.
