Rio Vista Lodge  

On the edge of Kruger National Park in Malelane, Nkomazi — minutes from the Malelane Gate and Inkwazi Shopping Centre. A family-friendly lodge with a deck that looks over the Crocodile River, where animals often graze and drink while you dine.

Rio Vista is a 27-room lodge with air-conditioned rooms, DSTV/LCD TVs and bar fridges. Selected rooms and chalets feature private patios, and some categories include deep soaking or whirlpool tubs and rainfall showerheads. The property has a thatched deck and cocktail bar with open views into the park and spacious, child-friendly gardens.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool (plus indoor pool options) or unwind in the on-site spa, sauna and massage room. Cast a line at the catch-and-release fishing dam, fire up the BBQ area, or sip cocktails on the deck as wildlife passes by. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, secure parking and airport transfer options keep logistics simple.

Conference and banquet facilities are available for meetings and events. Complimentary wireless internet and on-site parking make short business trips easy; airport shuttles can be arranged for a surcharge.

An a la carte restaurant serves regional favorites and hearty meals for safari days. Start with a complimentary buffet breakfast (daily 7–10 AM) and finish evenings at the bar/lounge or cocktail deck overlooking the park.
