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. Situated between Malelane and Komatipoort two entrance gates can be used to the Kruger National Park. Crocodile Bridge gate is 14 km and Malelane gate is 35 km. Lion sightings are also reported from time to time and Elephant often visit the Crocodile River that forms the boundary to the Kruger National Park. A variety of restaurants will cater for the hungry while two shops supply the self-catering guests. In addition to this Marloth Park offers all the basic commodities such as a hardware store, curio shop, liquor store and more.
