The Rio Vista Lodge features elegantly decorated rooms and panoramic views of the Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River. It offers a restaurant, a pool, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
“I could not be happier with this lodge! It was very hard for me to find lodging that would allow my 2 year old daughter to stay. The staff at Rio Vista was so friendly and accommodating throughout our entire stay. The rooms were clean and roomy and over looked the beautiful mountains and river of Kruger. To say the food was delicious would be an understatement. The have a large menu and everything we ate was cooked to perfection! We were greeted daily with warm conversation by both the owner and manager. They were very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the area. We spent after our morning drives we spent afternoons sipping cocktails at the restaurant looking at hippos and elephants by the river while my daughter played on the playground and splashed in the pool. This place was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone!”

Set in Malelane, 4.3 km from Malelane Gate, Hennie's Rest features air-conditioned rooms and free private parking. Views of the mountains, pool or river are featured in certain rooms.
“The unit is luxurious and tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable, with a modern granite top kitchen, microwave, stove, oven, full sized fridge/freezer and everything you would need. There are 3 levels of outdoor decks, all with a magnificent view of the Crocodile river and Kruger park. Outdoor couches, a hammock, barbecue area, and a pool right on the river bank make it hard to enjoy the luxury of the indoors, because you just want to enjoy beauty outside. The river is well lit by spotlights, so you can clearly see whatever game is near the river all night long. The best part of all, was that from the moment I arrived (which was well after the proper check in time) I was treated like a family member or a good friend by the owners, who I had never met before. Such a nice, fun family, my daughter and I felt completely at home with them.”
