Area Info

Marloth Park, set in the beautiful bushveld of Mpumalanga South Africa - close to nature, the Crocodile river, animals, and exquisite birdlife, this is serenity at its best. Clear open skies at night provide the perfect backdrop for amazing stargazing - unspoiled under the African skies.

Neatly placed between Komatipoort and Malelane, Marloth Park is only 30kms from the border into Mozambique, and only 20kms from the Crocodile entrance into the Kruger National Park. Marloth Park is separated from the Kruger by the Crocodile River and walking along the river visitors can easily spot wildlife. Zebra, kudu, giraffe, wildebeest, warthog, and other small animals roam freely around the park.

Marloth Park provides the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful holiday experience filled with many great outdoor activities. Game viewing is best done during the autumn and winter months as the bushveld is less dense making game-spotting easier.

There are shops/markets nearby providing amenities for those in the area, including a restaurant, bakery, laundry, petrol station and deli.
