Area Info
Marloth Park is a wildlife sanctuary situated on the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park. (Approximately 390 km from Pretoria). Marloth has lots of wildlife, however as the crocodile river forms the boundary between Marloth Park and the Kruger National Park you are likely to spot elephants playing in the river.
Buffalo, rhino and lion are confined to Marloth's game reserve "Lionspruit" whereas the rest of the game such as kudu, zebra, giraffe, blue wildebeest, nyala, impala, warthog and plenty more aren't restricted by fences and roam freely between the units that are built on 1500 hectares. With the dangerous game restricted, you can take a walk along the river or a mountain bike ride on many dirt roads and is a birder's paradise.
