Marloth Bush Retreat

Description

Marloth Bush etreat is  a tranquil, comfortable, self-catering thatched hide-away, situated on the

southern border of the Kruger National Park.  A wide variety of game and about 300 bird species are

 found around the lodge in untamed Bushveld vegetation.   The close-up interaction with Africa's

animals is truly thrilling.  In the evening, lesser bush-babies come to within 2 meters of guests.

African night sounds of lion roaring, hippo grunting and hyena calling are part of the bush

experience.   Most days elephant can be seen feeding in the Crocodile River.  Often lion wait here

too, watching for prey animals coming down to drink.  Leopard are seen from time to time.

 

This is a bird-watcher's paradise and species such as Eastern Nicator, yello-billed, red-billed, grey

and crowned hornbills occur. Sometimes even trumpeter hornbills.  From purple-crested turaco,

bearded wood-pecker to blue waxbill, all abound here.  The iconi sound of an African fish-eagle's

call calms even the most stressed soul.   For a fullbird list, please enquire. A bird guide is  available.

 

The guest-house accommodates 10 people comfortably in 5 double bedrooms, which are all en-suite
