Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Malalane?
The best area to stay in Malalane is along the R570, which runs parallel to the Crocodile River and forms the main thoroughfare through the town.

This area is the most convenient for visitors because it offers direct access to the Malalane Gate of Kruger National Park. The R570 is dotted with accommodation options, from guesthouses to larger lodges, many of which are set back from the road and offer views of the river or surrounding bushveld. You'll find most of the town's amenities, including restaurants and shops, concentrated along or just off this road.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway, staying in one of the luxury lodges along the Crocodile River is ideal. These properties often provide private decks, plunge pools, and opportunities for wildlife viewing right from your room, as the river forms the southern boundary of Kruger National Park. It's a tranquil setting great for relaxing after a day of safari.

Families will find guesthouses and hotels near the Malalane Gate practical. These often have family-friendly rooms or cottages, gardens, and sometimes swimming pools.
When is the best time to go to Malalane?
The best time to go to Malalane is during the dry winter months, from May to September.

During this period, the weather is cooler and drier, with clear skies and less humidity. This makes it ideal for wildlife viewing, as the vegetation is sparser, and animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. Daytime temperatures are pleasant, typically ranging from 20-25°C, while nights can be cool, dropping to around 5-10°C.

This time of year is particularly good for families looking for a comfortable safari experience. The lower risk of rain means fewer disruptions to game drives, and the cooler temperatures are more manageable for children. Many lodges offer family-friendly activities during these months.

Couples seeking a romantic getaway will also appreciate the dry season. The clear nights are great for stargazing, and the cooler evenings by the campfire create a cosy atmosphere.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
