There are few places in the world like Marloth Park – imagine waking up every morning to find a zebra grazing your front lawn or even a giraffe taking a drink from your swimming pool! This is the lifestyle at Marloth Park, because the wildlife is allowed to roam freely between the bush houses and lodges. There is certainly no way that you will leave Marloth Park without the thrill of seeing a wide variety of animals literally on your doorstep! The beautiful creatures don’t even seem to mind being watched by humans that much, and go about their day with little to worry about!
Set in the banks of the Crocodile River and overlooking the Kruger National Park, this stunning safari lodge consists of six luxury suites that are spacious and beautifully decorated in contemporary furnishing with a touch of traditional African decor. There are plenty of activities available including game drives, guided mini bus drives; rhino bush walks, village tours, elephant encounters and much more.
Marloth Park is a unique wildlife estate built along the Crocodile River that forms the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park. It is in the province of Mpumalanga, South Africa, but also just a few kilometres from the neighbouring countries of Swaziland and Mozambique. Marloth Park is both a town and a nature reserve offering visitors some exceptional opportunities for adventure and exploration in a wonderfully safe environment, as the major predators are either on the other side of the river in the Kruger National Park or in the well-fenced area of the nearby Lionspruit Game Reserve. Marloth Park, however, has no need for fences, and this makes it a fabulous place to view wildlife at the most unexpected moments!
The Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge is the perfect place to stay in Marloth Park. Its position right on the banks of the Crocodile River allow phenomenal views and the opportunity to see all sorts of wildlife in the Kruger Park itself, such as elephants coming down to the river. The lodge takes guests for sunset game drives in Marloth Park, for sightings of giraffe, wildebeest, zebra and other large herbivores, as well as guided bush walks that are superb for birdwatching and for learning about nature.
Visitors staying at the Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge also have easy access to the Kruger National Park (via the Crocodile Bridge Gate or the Malelane Gate), enjoying special game drives and tours of this enormous and famous South African wilderness. There is even a night drive available that is very exciting and highly recommended. The rhino bush walks are also tremendously popular. You will learn how to track animals and identify various plant species, and will surely come across some beautiful rhino along the way. Thereafter, enjoy a super breakfast in the heart of the African bush.
Marloth Park has a maze of tracks and dirt roads that are an explorer’s paradise. How you navigate the park is completely up to you. Take a mountain bike, horse, quad-bike or 4×4, or simply wander along on your own steam! Walking along the river is one of the nicest ways to spend time in Marloth Park, spotting unusual bird species and game. Alternatively, enjoy the luxurious comfort of your lodge and wait for the wildlife to come to you! At the Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge, there are six luxury en-suite bedrooms, each with a lovely view of the river. Breakfasts are enjoyed on the lower deck that overlooks the swimming pool, while a bar and upper verandah supplies unhindered views of the river.
The Kwa Madwala Private Game Reserve – From the Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge you can go to the nearby Kwa Madwala Private Game Reserve for a very special and personal encounter with their elephants. Guests are invited to touch and feed these marvellous gentle giants and then enjoy an hour-long elephant-back safari through the bush where you will see many other types of wildlife – that is – should you be able to take your attention off the massive creature you are riding! This reserve also offers microlight safaris – there is nothing quite like a view from the sky! Enjoy completely unobstructed views of the game and of the scenic reserve.
Nelspruit and the Jane Goodall Institute – While you are in the nearby area, perhaps you would like to visit Chimp Eden, the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa Chimpanzee Sanctuary. The sanctuary is about 15km from Nelspruit and about a two-hour drive from Marloth Park. It is the only chimp sanctuary in South Africa, and offers guided tours of their facilities. You will hear the stories of many chimps, see some amazing animals and learn a lot about these creatures that are the closest relative to humans. The sanctuary is also situated in the beautiful 1000 hectare Umhloti Nature Reserve.
Visit a different country – A Matsamo cultural village tour can easily be arranged in Swaziland when staying at the Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge. The village is found at the Jeppes reef Border post just a few kilometres from Marloth Park. A Swazi guide will give you a full tour of the traditional village, showing off their grass huts and local culture. You will also enjoy a performance by several Swazi singers, dancers and drummers. Mozambique is also quite accessible through the Mozambique Border post, approximately 20km from Marloth Park.
The town of Marloth Park has several useful facilities, should you require anything whilst on holiday. There are a few restaurants, a mini supermarket, petrol station, a hardware store and laundry. Although, when surrounded by so many exciting things to do in the wilderness, there won’t be any need to spend much time in town!
