Bushbaby Lodge in Marloth Park
You will find this lovely 3 to 9 sleeper fully air-conditioned self-catering
lodge - situated in a `game corridor` - deep in the heart of the African bush,
bordering the world famous Kruger National Park. Enjoy the magnificent nature and
well visited drinking hole right in front of you!
Our four legged friends like
kudu, zebra, warthog, mongoose and monkey visit on a regular basis, and
some will feed out of your hand - so keep the food ready! The lovely male
bush-buck with mom and lad as well as the small duiker family also visits during
early morning and afternoon. The Natalse fisant (Natal spurfowl), flocks of guinenafowl, and other
birds will pick up their food during the day.
When the sun sets, you will get
the fire burning, and while relaxing around it, you may be surprised by a visit
by civet and the shy bushbaby (likes banana and yoghurt).
Listen carefully to
the sounds of nature, and you will hear the lion roaring from the Kruger Park,
hippo grumbling in the Crocodile River and hyena laughing while scavenging
around.
