Khandizwe River Lodge, Malelane

The 4 masterfully appointed bedrooms are complimented by elegant entertainment and dining areas, and a game viewing deck that provides the ideal vantage point to observe the regular occurrence of elephant and buffalo feeding in the reeds in front of the Lodge. During the heat of the day the swimming pool occupies centre stage, with guests sipping refreshing drinks whilst watching enormous crocodiles gently glide by only metres away ... Breakfast is served on the patio to the sight and sounds of the resident hippo family who regularly grunt and frolic to the amusement of guests. Specialised safari excursions enable guests to explore the neighbouring Kruger National Park in search of Africa¿s Big 5. These activities are offered by highly qualified rangers and include full day or half day Open vehicle safari adventures, bush walks and night drives. A favourite amongst guests is the Sundowner open vehicle drive, followed by a BBQ Dinner under star-lit skies on the remote plains of Kruger. Alternatively, guests may select to self-drive into Kruger by entering the nearby Malelane Gate, the southern gateway to the Kruger National Park.
