Crocodile River Retreat – Retirement Village Mpumalanga sits on the banks of the Crocodile River in Malalane –  looking directly into the southern section of the Kruger National Park. This is not a lifestyle estate with a wildlife theme. This is the real thing.

Every day, residents watch elephant, buffalo, rhino, hippo, lion, leopard, wild dog, hyena and crocodile move freely on the opposite bank. Not occasionally. Not on a good day. Regularly, and up close.

This retirement village has grown substantially from the early days. It now consists of 93 homes, ranging from one-bedroomed apartments to three-bedroom cottages, some with garages, a fully-equipped frail care centre with 30 beds, and a dining room serving excellent food.
