Ukulala Inn

My husband became a local in 1986 and we got married in 1995 and naturally our children were born and raised here. We've made Malelane our permanent rest-stop, and it is a privileged to live here. Over the decades we have accommodate our family and friends who love to visit the Kruger National Park, and amidst our professional career pursuits, we decided to offer formal lodging facilities to travelers. We love hosting, traveling and the foodie scene and decided to open our doors to the public in 2025. Marilize will be your host during your stay, and we trust you’ll have a memorable experience.

Welcome to Ukulala Inn, situated in a secure bushveld village, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. We offer three uniquely designed self-catering units with one-of-a-kind décor items made with repurposed wood, upcycled materials, vintage, antique and cottage furniture. Our rooms are suited with exceptional good quality linen and orthopedic mattresses to make your stay comfortable. Our en-suite units create a relaxed ambiance and are very spacious, with fully equipped indoor kitchenettes and breakfast nooks, coupled with private outside BBQ facilities on a magnificent porch with stunning sunsets and abundant bird life. Whether you are in the Malalane region solo or in a group, for work or play, our Inn is the perfect home base for your stay. We look forward to spoiling you.

Apart from exploring the wildlife scene at the Kruger National Park, our visitors can enjoy a round of golf, the gym, squash or tennis court, at the Malalane Country Golf Club . On a hot summer's day, experience the "super tube water shoot" at Pestana Kruger Lodge or spoil yourself to a Spa-day. Some of our favourite restaurants are only 2 kilometers from our doorstep. Whether you prefer artisanal coffee, cocktails with a stunning view over the Crocodile River or the relaxed atmosphere, we have so much to offer, to make your stay unforgettable!
