Wildlife & location

What you might see from the veranda

Marloth Park borders Kruger National Park along the Crocodile River — here's what that actually means for your stay.

What you might see

A lion pride calls the far bank home

Marloth Park is separated from Kruger National Park by a boundary fence and the Crocodile River. Across the water, on the Kruger side, a small lion pride has called this stretch of riverbank home for the last two years. Leopards turn up often too — if you don't look for them, you won't see them, but if you do, you usually will.
