Overlanding in Africa - From Morocco to Cape Town to Cairo: A Compliment That Touched Our Hearts
Posted on Mon May 5, 2025.
Every now and then, a compliment lands in a way that stays with you — and this one truly did.
This week, we had the pleasure of hosting an overland group who’ve been travelling for six months across Africa, journeying down the west coast from Morocco all the way to Cape Town. Now, they’re on their way back up to Cairo, crossing the continent on a bold and beautiful adventure in their overland truck.
Out of all the places they’ve stayed — and there have been many — they told us that Malealea Lodge is the best place they’ve stayed in Africa so far.
We were deeply moved. And what touched us even more was their kind praise for our team. They spoke of how friendly, helpful, and genuine the staff were, making their time here not only comfortable but truly memorable.
For all of us at Malealea Lodge, it’s moments like these that make it all worthwhile. We pour heart and soul into what we do, and hearing this from such seasoned travellers is the kind of feedback that fuels us for the long journey ahead.
To the group: Thank you. You’ve reminded us why we do what we do. Safe travels on the rest of your epic journey northward — and we hope our paths cross again.

More than a hundred years ago, in 1905, Mervyn came to live in Malealea. He quickly developed a deep love for the land and an even greater passion for road-making. Back then, there were no trucks, no graders—just spades, picks, and wheelbarrows and the community. In order to get building supplies to Malealea, Mervyn had to forge a road from the top of the mountain pass, which he lovingly named “The Gates...
