The Malelane Rest Camp in the world-renowned Kruger National Park can be found where the rolling fields of sugar cane of the neighbouring farms and the majestic savannah of the Kruger National Park are separated by the powerful Crocodile River. The camp is conveniently placed close to the Malelane Entrance Gate, the small town of Malelane and the N4/Maputo Corridor.

The camp is unique because it is the only camp to be placed on a boundary, the southern border of the Kruger National Park. Malelane Rest Camp has the added benefit of being a very small camp, with fewer guests than found in the main camps, adding to a more intimate bush experience.

Accommodation at Malelane Rest Camp is ideal for backpacking, camping and caravanning communities looking for a self-catering bushveld experience.

The camp has a communal kitchen with a scullery, gas stoves and a communal freezer. One ablution block is available.
