Phumula Safari’s and Tours

Activities within Marloth include: bird watching, walking, game drives, etc. You can also view game from Marloth's lookout area which has panoramic views over the Crocodile River and into the Kruger Park. Although Marloth has no resident Elephants, they can often be viewed while bathing in the Crocodile River. Various predators like lion and leopard can be seen from time to time.

Activities outside yet nearby Marloth include: self-guided game drives into the Kruger Park, professionally guided Kruger Park Safaris in luxury tour busses or open safari vehicles, morning walks and night drives in the Kruger Park, a round of golf at the Leopard Creek Golf Course, etc.

Nearby activities for the more adventurous include: Elephant Back Safaris, Micro light Flights, Tiger Fishing Safaris, quad biking, white water tubing and bridge swinging and abseiling.

Further away yet close enough for a full-day excursion are the panorama regions of South Africa's Mpumalanga Province which abound with many more interesting attractions & activities -- from magnificent waterfalls, the world renowned Blyde River Canyon, the enchanting God's Window viewpoint, to wildlife rehabilitation centres such as Chimpanzee Eden & Moholoholo or Kapama Cheetah project.

A TYPICAL DAY ON SAFARI

We leave the lodge very early in the morning, the gates opens at sunrise. This is the best time to see game, seeing that everything is still very fresh and the animals move around much more. Soon after entering the park you see exactly why Kruger is a world heritage site, as wildlife awaits you around every corner. Enjoy some warm coffee and rusks on the way, to keep away the worst hunger pains. At nine stretch the legs, and enjoy a cooked breakfast a short while later, overlooking a magnificent waterhole. Continue trough the day and leave the gates, after a satisfying day in Africa.
