Majuli River House

Situated in Marloth Park along the Crocodile River and overlooking the Kruger National Park, Majuli River House is nestled in the bush. With no perimeter fencing, the wildlife is free to roam, giving you unique interactions with some of Africa’s best-loved creatures. This is what makes this place so special. On your morning walk, it would be no surprise to walk past a herd of zebra or a tower of giraffes, or you could relax in the comfort of the lodge and let nature come to you. Majuli River House is a charming 2-bedroomed 4-sleeper home that offers spectacular views of the Crocodile River. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed, the second room 2 single beds. A sleeper couch is also available. The full bathroom downstairs has a shower and there is a half bathroom upstairs, with toilet and handbasin. The ground-floor kitchen has a stove, oven and a fridge, which opens to the outdoor braai area and private plunge pool. The extended deck looks out over the river and is a wonderful place to spot all the Big 5. Marloth is home to various wildlife such as kudu, wildebeest, warthog, impala, bushbuck and much more. Expect visits by some of Marloth’s smaller creatures, such as banded mongoose, lesser and greater bushbabies, vervet monkeys and more.

Area Info

The view from our property is of the Kruger National Park running down to its Crocodile River boundary, and the Park entrance gate is only a mere 25 minutes drive away. However, you may see all of the big five without even leaving the viewing deck!

This beautiful riverside spot presents a rich variety of woodland and riverine birdlife. There is the possibility of spotting many birds native to Kruger Park, of which there are over 500 species. A few minutes’ walk takes you to Marloth Park’s ‘Bee-Eater’ bird hide providing closer views of the river’s visitors. For those who prefer to stay put enjoying a morning coffee, the house’s decks afford excellent viewing of the birdlife, and game, frequenting the immediate surroundings.

For the wildlife enthusiast, there is a wealth of plains game roaming around Marloth Park many of which pay daily visits, including giraffe, zebra, kudu, warthog, impala, bushbuck, monkey, waterbuck, wildebeest, mongoose and many others. Having a sundowner as another sun sinks over the river is a breathtaking experience. Late evening you may well see our resident bushbabies leaping through the trees, complemented by sounds of crickets, wallowing hippos, the African fish eagle and the woodland kingfisher, this truly is a unique experience not to be missed!
