    Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.

    It’s a beautiful lodge giving up the country house vibe with a very unique charm. You could spend hours discovering the collections of unique items displayed throughout the house. Located directly on the crocodile river and opposite the Kruger National Parc you may spot different animals from the viewing deck. The staff is very kind and helpful. I would recommend spending a few nights and enjoying the amazing food.
