Shongololo Bush villa is a brand new modern design house overlooking parkland with the main focus being the wild bush surroundings. It’s an opened planned house located in beautiful Marloth Park bordering the Kruger National Park with only a short 14km drive to the nearest Kruger Gate. It’s the perfect getaway for couples, small families or friends. Sitting on the porch you can watch the wild animals that visit - kudu, zebra, giraffe, impala, warthog, to name a few, and the occasional lion that escapes from the Kruger Park. The property consists of two bedrooms with their own private ensuites and a sleeper couch for the little ones. Large oversized windows and doors to take advantage of the wildlife and bushveld. The outdoor area consists of a splash pool with a wood burning oven to heat up the water for those last night dips, you can also enjoy the custom built pizza oven and try your hand at a home made pizza. Then for the more adventurous an outdoor shower is tucked away in the bush for that African experience.

Marloth Park is a truly unique bushveld retreat where nature and comfort go hand in hand. Situated on the southern border of the world-famous Kruger National Park, this peaceful estate allows animals to roam freely through the streets and gardens. It's not uncommon to see zebras, giraffes, kudus, warthogs, impalas, and many other animals right on your doorstep. The area is peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for guests looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature. There are no fences between the accommodations, providing an authentic bush experience while still enjoying the safety and convenience of a well-run holiday park. Marloth Park offers a variety of local amenities, including small shops, restaurants, takeaways, fuel stations, and activity centers. Guests can enjoy walks along the Crocodile River (where elephants, hippos, and buffalo are often spotted on the Kruger side), scenic viewpoints, picnic areas, and cycling and walking trails through the bush. One of the biggest highlights is the peaceful atmosphere: mornings filled with birdsong, afternoons spent watching wildlife pass by, and evenings under a starry sky, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Marloth Park is ideal for nature lovers, couples, families, and anyone who wants a relaxing safari experience without having to visit the busy game reserve every day. It's the perfect base for exploring Kruger National Park, while still enjoying privacy, space, and the magic of the African bush at home. 🌿✨
