Malelane Campsite

Malelane Camp is one of the smallest camps in Kruger National Park, situated on the park's southern boundary where the Crocodile River separates the reserve from surrounding sugarcane fields.

Located about 3 km from the Malelane entrance gate, the camp offers 15 powered campsites alongside five self-catering bungalows, with a maximum of six persons per site. No day visitors are permitted, giving the camp a notably private and secluded atmosphere.

The setting along the Crocodile River is a highlight, with animals regularly spotted coming down to drink on the opposite bank.

Towering trees — baobabs, marulas, and jackalberries among them — dominate the camp garden and attract exceptional birdlife, making it a strong choice for birders.

A walking route within the camp's electrified perimeter allows guests to explore the flora and fauna at close range. The nearest main camp with restaurant facilities is Berg-en-Dal, approximately 9 km away.
