MARLOTH PARK
Marloth Park Holiday Town is a wildlife sanctuary located on the southern border of the renowned Kruger National Park. It is approximately 390km from Pretoria, the country’s administrative capital.
One of Marloth Park’s notable features is its unique wildlife population. While it doesn’t have elephants within its boundaries, the Crocodile River, which acts as the boundary between Marloth Park and Kruger National Park, often attracts elephants that come to play and interact in the river. This allows visitors to observe these majestic creatures from a close distance.
Within Marloth Park’s designated game reserve called “Lions Spruit,” you can find buffalo, rhinos, and lions. These animals are confined to this specific area for conservation purposes and to ensure the safety of both wildlife and human residents. However, the rest of the game, including animals such as kudu, zebra, giraffe, blue wildebeest, nyala, impala, warthog, and many others, roam freely throughout the 1500-hectare area without any restrictive fences. This creates a unique and authentic experience as these animals can be encountered during walks along the river or while biking on the numerous dirt roads within Marloth Park.
In addition to the diverse wildlife, Marloth Park is also a haven for bird enthusiasts. The area offers a rich variety of bird species, making it a paradise for birders. With its tranquil environment and abundant birdlife, Marloth Park provides an excellent opportunity to observe and appreciate different species in their natural habitat.
Overall, Marloth Park offers a beautiful blend of wildlife encounters, scenic landscapes, and outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a memorable experience in the heart of South Africa’s wilderness.
Marloth Park is conveniently located between Malelane and Komatipoort, providing easy access to Kruger National Park. The park has two entrance gates: Crocodile Bridge Gate, 14km away, and Malelane Gate, 35km away.
