Kruger Southern Cross, hotel in Malelane

Providing a garden, Kruger Southern Cross provides accommodations in Malelane. The air-conditioned accommodation is 3.4 miles from Leopard Creek Country Club.

I had great deal on this property but it got even better when we arrived and met the lovely host Sandi. She's so warm and friendly she made us feel at right at home. Sandi was even nice enough to share her cooking oil. Although the property itself is great, the greatest asset they have is the host. Thank you Sandi and keep up doing the good work.

    Easy access and quick access.

    Easy access and quick access. We went off season but had pre-booked with SANParks, so a word of warning, don't pre-book unless it's high season to guarantee access. It doesn't specify this when booking, so we thought we were paying the conservation fees. You're free to roam around in your own vehicle and don't need an off-roader. There is an abundance of wildlife so you don't even need to stay for 3 days. We went for 2 hours on our own and saw elephants, rhinos, 'pumbas' and impalas. The toilets are few and far between so either go when you find them or you'll have to do it at the side of the road...without straying into the Bush. We then went for a full day with a guide who knows the area better and took us to the watering holes we probably would've never found on our own, where giraffes, wildebeest, hippos and elephants were all hanging out. A note about Malaria: we read that malaria was found around Kruger and had conflicting advice about taking anti-malaria tablets. In the end, we just covered our legs and arms (even though it was hot) and sprayed mosquito repellent with 50% deet. In short, Kruger is a must, but don't expect to see leopards or cheetahs, as they are, quite literally, impossible to 'spot'.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around. I loved the wild life the most, it was pleasant view to watch the birds and animals roaming around freely. The staff at the gate were very friendly and helpful. Wish I had more time to give a constructive review but went to the park for just half a day and managed to see some of the big 5 which was the purpose of my visit.

    There is supermarkets for pre Kruger shopping on the road out of Malalene. Major roadworks taking place out of Malalene. Beware of trucks and drive carefully. Not recommended to drive in the dark while roadworks in place.

    Pastana still remains for me the most affordable best and well managed accommodation in Malelane. The Restuarant always meet my expectation of the wide spread of eats available. Malelane is very easy to navigate. It has all the amenities to accommodate a travelers needs The town is very clean . I would avoid accommodation I have not visited before. A picture tell a thousand tales. But some can be very deceiving and uncomfortable.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing. The only reason for staying in the suburb we stayed in was a) it is outside the town and b) is close to the Kruger Park entrance. We stayed in Mhlathikop suburb, which is nice and can be recommended.

    The hotel is quite delightful, with the proprietors ensuring we felt thoroughly at home, consistently enquiring after our well-being. Both dinner and breakfast were splendid. The rooms are charming, affording us a splendid view of Kruger Park, alongside the river teeming with various animals. This stands as one of the finest services I have ever experienced. The staff were exceedingly courteous and always greeted us with a smile.

    The location very convenient for Kruger National Park, the rooms were large and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the shared living area was very comfy. There was a nice deck area and access to a backyard garden. The provided homegrown lemons and passion fruit were great. Loadsheeding was barely noticeable.

    Located very near to Malelane Gate entrance to Kruger Park and close to a shopping centre with a huge supermarket where you can grab something to eat. We ate dinner once at the hotel (we were the only guests!) and the steak was wonderful. Beds were extremely comfortable and the sunset from the bedroom was stunning.

    I think this place is totally what you need after spending all day at the Kruger Park. Very convenient parking and braai zone. Spar in 5 min by car Of course the terrace near the Crocodile river is amazing, such as big baobab tree on the territory. Greg is a great host. Thank you, Greg!

    was an easy check-in, and very hospitable host. The location is excellent in Malelane, close to all amenities but private as well, and close to the Kruger park. We departed early, and the host offered to prepare a breakfast pack - which was very kind of them.

    Place of passage in a quiet position not too far from Kruger's Malelane gate. The property offers everything you need. The room is clean and with enough space. Breakfast not included, however not too expensive and very good. Parking space inside the structure.

    Amazing place on the bank of Crocodile river. Very close to Malelane gate. You however do not need to enter Kruger, you can just relax on the patio and watch the animals in Kruger Park just across the river. Jabu is a great hostess.
