We visited Malala for three nights as part of our honeymoon earlier this month with their ‘3 night safari special’ and it was fantastic. All I can do is echo the other reviewers in saying that the location, rooms, setting, game viewing and food were brilliant but it is Pete, Jane and Paul who make this place stand out. I... More

Owners really care about their guests. Paul and Jane prepare excellent dinners, Pete is a devoted ranger and barman. Chalets are quiet and comfortable. Don´t expect any extra luxury. Just expect everything to be clean and working. Lodge is perfectly situated in between St Lucia and Hluhluwe. We saw hyena, elephant, rhino, crocodile, hippo (and three cheetahs at the neighbours).... More

My wife and I recently honeymooned at Malala Lodge and were there for 5 nights. Besides the fantastic location (~30 minutes from Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, 40 minutes from St. Lucia and about 1 hour from Mkuze game reserve) as well as the beautiful setting around the chalets (bush/woodland), the hospitality as well as the food and service was fantastic. Pete Jane and... More

My son (25) and I (55) stayed 2 nights at Malala Lodge on a short trip through South Africa. We were triggered by the offer that included a safari in the Hluhluwe Umfolozi park. Entering the Malala game reserve via the dirt road we were curious what to expect. The guest came right to us to welcome us and show... More

We had a great time at Malala Lodge! The lodge is run by Pete, Jane and Paul Harvey in a nice and quiet area nearby the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game reserve (the park that saved the White Rhinoceros from extinction). It is a 25 min drive from the lodge to the reserve. Be prepared to see impala, zebra, gekko's and vervet... More

It was our second trip to South Africa and we more or less by accident came across Malala Lodge. We stayed 4 nights and - as we arrived on New Years Day - booked dinner for the first day. It was a marvelous experience and we instantly decided to have dinner at the lodge every night. We enjoyed the lodges... More

We spent really wonderful time at Malala Lodge enjoying relaxing and friendly atmosphere, great homemade meals and great location for safari's trip - we enjoyed the most trip with Pete to Umfolozi. We recommend staying in Malala Lodge and we hope to come back someday to meet again Jane, Pete and Paul.

Loved the stay. Lodges are situated in the forest, hidden away from other guests. Rooms were clean, well furnished and serviced daily. We went for the self-catering option and all basic utensils were provided ,including a big fridge. Lodge is ideally situated for day visits to all the major attractions in the area.
