Marloth Park

 

 

Marloth Park is located approximately 4 1/2 hours drive north-east of Johannesburg, on the banks of Crocodile River, between Malelane and Komatiepoort. Marloth Park is a nature reserve and holiday park. In Marloth Park you will find 4 of the "Big Five" (no elephants). At 2 minutes from Marlove Cottage you find the entrance to Lionsspruit. Lions, buffalo and rhinos are found in this reserve. The other wild animals are not restricted by gates and roam freely on the more than 3000 ha. which you may encounter during a walk. Or from the terrace of Marlove cottage comes face to face with a Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe etc. The animals may be used to people, but always remember they are and remain wild animals.
At Marloth Park you will only find 1 asphalted road. All other roads are unpaved.
Marloth Park borders Kruger National Park, and the southern entrance to the nature reserve via
Crocodile Bridge is just a short 15-minute drive away. Komatiepoort is a 15-minute
drive from Marloth Park. There are several restaurants in Komatiepoort, a large
supermarket, and various shops.

The climate in Marloth Park is subtropical, the winters are mild and the summers very warm. In the autumn and winter it is dry so that the bushes and trees have less
leaves, that way you can spot the wild live better. The animals will also visit the water places more often.
