There's so much to do in and around Marloth Park!

Our location in Marloth Park, on the Southern border of Kruger National Park affords our guests the best of both worlds – the opportunity to see and enjoy Kruger Park’s Big5 and fauna and flora, in addition to an intimate immersion in nature where you can walk/ run/ cycle on dusty roads that are used daily by our local wildlife in Marloth Park. It’s an unparalleled wild experience!
