Cheap hotels in Melk River

We loved the location of our cottage right by the river. Marienet and Ed took great care of us. We highly recommend doing a guided walk with Ed as we learned so much from him about the flora and fauna.

We loved the solitude and tranquility we were provided with when staying in the raised camped area of the reserve. We had the whole place to ourselves for four days and that made it really extra special. Johannes was really helpful and guided us through all that was needed. The place was spotless, and the kitchen was easily one of the best equipped that we have ever come across. We were visited by warthogs, baboons, monkeys, squirrels, and a mysterious ginger cat who appeared for breakfast and dinner and slept with us every night, but disappeared back into the bush in the afternoon. We did a couple of game drives and two decent hikes, and we had the African bush experience we were looking for. It lived up to our expectations-we will come again.
