Fodor's Expert Review Malelane

Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa

Small, intimate, and ideal for backpackers and do-it-yourselfers, this camp has a good close-to-the-bush feeling. Stay in one of five very basic rondawels, or camp. There's a communal kitchen, communal freezer and an ablution block with showers. If you need supplies, a swim, or a bit more sophistication, you can head over to Berg-en-Dal, just a few kilometers away. A bonus is that you're within easy driving distance of good game areas around and toward Lower Sabie and there are also guided bush drives. Check in at Malelane Gate, from which the camp is managed.
