Embarking on a self-drive safari in Kruger Park? Malelane Private Camp is the perfect base from which to explore the southern region of this wildlife-rich reserve.
Kruger Game Viewing
Guided game viewing activities like expert-led safari drives and bush walks can be booked directly at the Malelane Gate, just four kilometers away. But, if you’re here to tackle the southern network of roads in your own vehicle (and at your own pace), you’ll still get in some top-notch sightings, especially along the Crocodile River.
The game viewing is so good here you’ll witness a bounty of animals without even having to turn on the ignition. Expect to see elephants, hyenas, genets and warthogs coming close to the fence to visit, especially after dark.
Catch Up on Birding
Since Malelane Private Camp is situated within the mountainous bushveld, the wide range of unique plants, trees and sweet grasses attracts many prominent bird species. With the likes of Crested Barbets, Greater Blue-eared Starlings, Blue Waxbills, Burchell's Coucal, and Fork-tailed Drongos, this really is a birding mecca for twitchers embarking on a self-drive safari in Kruger Park.
Birder’s tip: the direct view over the Crocodile River will also reward you with a wonderful variety of waterbirds, like those signature woolly-necked and marabou storks.
