Top Mala Mala Game Reserve Hotel Reviews

Imbali Safari Lodge

Sabie River Bush Lodge

Elephant Plains Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely safari stay. From the knowledgeable guides on the game drives to the friendly accomodating staff. Perfect starting point for your safari adventures"

Elephant Point

10/10 Excellent

"The complex has an excellent restaurant with great views of wildlife and the service was exceptional. The Gym was very good and its equipment was pristine. Our Boma was very private and it had nice views of various species of wildlife walking by every afternoon as they made their way into the bush for the evening."

Lion Sands River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful!"

Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our safari experience was truly unforgettable! Nestled within Kruger National Park, the lodge offered comfortable and clean cabins. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure each day was exceptional. A special shout-out to our guide, Andrew, whose expertise led us to see four out of the Big Five, along with many other animals in their natural habitat. Every morning and evening safari was a highlight, enhanced by thoughtful touches like coffee and snacks during the morning trips and wine and snacks in the evenings. Dining at the lodge was a delight, with gourmet meals served while we watched wildlife gather at the waterhole. This was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend!"

Leopard Sands Kruger Park, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Kruger park was only about 20 minutes away by drive. All of the staff were wonderful. So friendly. Whatever you wanted, they would get for you. I couldn’t single out one staff member because they were all perfect. The suites are gorgeous and spotless with a wonderful view of the Sabe River. The food was excellent and so plentiful. I couldn’t think of a better place to stay to get to Kruger and experience the game drives. The drivers were excellent and it was easy to see their love for the animals and nature of South Africa. Highly recommend."
