Area activities

Marloth Park is a vacation township in the bushveld bordering onto the world famous Kruger National Park and is situated on the banks of the mighty Crocodile River.

There are no fences between houses in Marloth Park allowing wild animals such as kudu, wildebeest, impala, water buck, zebra, nyala, giraffe and many more to roam about freely. Between Marloth Park and Kruger National Park, along the Crocodile River, is a game fence to keep dangerous animals out. Along the fence is a hiking trail of approx. 5 Km from where the crocodiles, hippos, buffalos and large herds of elephants can be watched. Several very good golf courses are close by.

"Self Drive Safaris", Organized Game Drives and Nature Walks Situated between the two main southern entry points to the Kruger National Park, Bush Baby is located 35kms from Malelane Gate and only 30kms from Crocodile Bridge Gate. This offers quick easy access to the Park for day trips, with time enough to view a large section of the Southern section of the park which is the most popular part of Kruger.

Full day safaris as well as night drives can be arranged and booked into the Kruger National Park.
Nature trails and bush walks are also available. These are all conducted by qualified Park Rangers who escort all guests on these activities.

Bush Baby is also ideally situated for day trips to Mozambique and Swaziland. It is also a perfect stopover for travellers leaving these countries for either shopping trips or continued holidays.
Maputo the Mozambique capital is also a wonderful experience. Visit the various craft markets and tour the city with its wonderful architecture and history.
A trip to Maputo would not be complete without enjoying the finest of Portuguese cuisine that specializes in some of the freshest seafood and traditional fair on the Costa Dol Sol beachfront.

Swaziland is also just an hour away and this day trip offers a different experience but equally enjoyable. Visit traditional cultural villages, bushman paintings, art and craft centres, and view the beauty of one of Africa's last remaining Kingdoms.

Escorted tours to both Maputo and Swaziland can be arranged on request. Golf can be arranged at the Malelane Country Club, Komatipoort Golf Club, both within a 30minute drive from the Lodge. Guests also have access to a number of courses in and around the town of Nelspruit.

Fishing A new and exciting activity in the area is tiger fishing. By prior arrangement with management, day trips into Mozambique can be organized as the Tiger Fish "hot spot" - The Komati River is only an hours drive away. For the more serious fisherman, full day fishing charters can also be arranged out of Maputo.
