Malalane located on the outskirts of the southern Kruger National Park within South Africa's Mpumalanga province, is Thompsons Africa's 'newest' operational base for safari game drives into the Kruger Park. Malalane is in close proximity to Swaziland, and we therefore offer tours to this picturesque Kingdom. Malalane is also a mere two hour road transfer to Maputo in Mozambique and a day tour to this fabulous 'salsa' coastal city where the seafood is legendary is also an option.
Savour a traditional South African meal under the stars in the middle of a private game reserve, or visit the Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Eden, or track Africa's Big Five on safari in the glorious wilderness of the Kruger National Park.
