Veranda lounge at Kruger Umoya overlooking the bush
Marloth Park · Mpumalanga

A little piece
of the African bush.

A self-catering safari house on the doorstep of Kruger National Park — thatch, bushveld views, and the sound of the wild right outside your door.

Welcome to our home

More than a place to stay.

Kruger Umoya is a self-catering house we've made our own little piece of the bush — the kind of place where the kettle's always on, the fire pit's ready to light, and there's a good chance a kudu will wander past while you have your coffee. We built this website so you can see exactly what to expect, and book directly with us when you're ready.
