Marloth Park Conservancy

Post by Richprins »

Marloth Park Conservancy is situated on the banks of the Crocodile River overlooking the Kruger National Park. What makes Marloth Park unique, is that residents are not permitted to erect fences around their property. The game in Marloth Park can roam freely around the houses and streets of the town.

From view sites - where many residents take their camping chairs and sundowners - lions and elephants are frequently seen at the Crocodile River, which is home to hippo and crocodiles. It is commonplace to witness many species of buck and antelope in Marloth Park, The chance of seeing buffalo, giraffe, warthog, baboons and monkeys around the cottages is excellent.

Marloth Park Conservancy has a variety of holiday accommodation, including a number of Self-catering bushveld houses, Safari Lodges, Backpackers and Guest Houses in Marloth Park Conservancy and surrounds.
With a variety of game, including Zebra, Kudu, warthogs, giraffe and many species of Antelope visiting your front door, Marloth Park offers the ideal break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Here one can see the residential area, with some sugar farming to the north.

Access is via two turnoffs from the N4 at the bottom:

The stands in the conservancy are unfenced and often unoccupied for most of the year. There is also now a far stricter set of rules regarding building, service delivery, security etc. (it was a bit of a free-for-all some years ago.) Many stands form part of "municipal parkland", so no building allowed. \O

The conservancy shares a long border with Kruger along the Crocodile River, and one can sit and do some game viewing anywhere:

It's a big guy :shock: I wonder how he has arrived so far. He must have crossed or the bridge or the river, there is no other way :-?
