South Safari Lodge

South Safari Lodge is a private boutique bush lodge situated in Marloth Park, South Africa, nestled among Knob Thorn and Marula Trees. The lodge captures the essence of "Old Africa" with its distinctive thatched roof design and authentic African Safari-themed décor throughout the premises and individual bungalows.

Located in the Marloth Park nature reserve, which borders Kruger National Park, the lodge is just 17 km from the Crocodile Bridge Gate. The surrounding Marloth Park area features a village with essential amenities including shops, restaurants, a petrol station, liquor stores, butchery, and a post office.

The lodge offers bed and breakfast or half-board accommodation through its exclusive thatch-roofed bungalows. Each bungalow accommodates two adults and features a king-size bed (convertible to twin beds), en-suite bathroom, dining area, and fully equipped kitchenette. Modern amenities include air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a private deck with a fire pit/BBQ/boma area. From these private spaces, guests may hear lions and hippos from the nearby Crocodile River, approximately one kilometer away.

The wildlife experience at Marloth Park is rich, featuring four of the Big Five animals within Lionspruit, a separate game reserve within the park. While elephants are not present in Marloth Park itself, they can often be spotted in the Crocodile River. The area is home to diverse wildlife including rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, kudu, zebra, giraffe, blue wildebeest, baboon, bushbuck, vervet monkeys, nyala, impala, warthog, and ostrich, which freely roam the vicinity.

The location serves as an ideal stopover for tourists traveling to Kruger National Park, Swaziland, and Mozambique, offering an authentic African safari experience in a comfortable, well-appointed setting.
