All inclusive Lodges in Marloth Park

Safari Tents and Riverfront Suites

Experience our luxurious Tents & River Suites, offering cozy bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Each unit boasts full air-conditioning and bush-style en-suite bathrooms complete with a shower, basin, and toilet.

All our units provide stunning views of the Crocodile River and Kruger Park. Situated at the entrance of Crocodile Bridge overlooking the Crocodile River, our units are positioned along the riverbank, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of our bush-veld paradise. Each unit is equipped with a fridge/freezer for your convenience, and selected units feature a kitchenette for preparing light meals
(please note that fires are not permitted close to any units for safety reasons).

In the late afternoon and evenings, our guests come together to savor pre-dinner drinks and share thrilling stories about the day’s wildlife sightings and activities. We kindly request you to bring your preferred drinks and beverages as we are not licensed to sell alcohol on the premises.

Our dinners feature a fixed menu of traditional South African dishes, prepared over open fires, in a potjie pot, or oven-baked to perfection.

To ensure a serene atmosphere for all our guests, we exclusively welcome those
aged 14 years and older to the lodge.

Maqueda Lodge is a small family owned boutique lodge situated in Marloth Park – so close to the world-famous Kruger National Park that our guests frequently hear lions and other animals calling – especially at night. Our location means that the closest entrance to Kruger is a short 15 minutes’ drive from the lodge. In addition, we are also ideally situated to enjoy day tours of the fascinating country of Swaziland as well as the famous Blyde River Canyon – part of the beautiful Panorama Route.

Maqueda Lodge is surrounded by the natural beauty of the African bush. Often, we have non-human visitors to the lodge such as giraffe and zebra as Marloth Park is an area containing the general game. Our bird life is fascinating and abundant around the lodge itself. This means that for those guests that would like some exercise it is possible to walk unaccompanied to the Kruger fence line where you may see a variety of animals within Kruger come down to the Crocodile River. The observation point is a mere 15 minutes’ walk from the lodge where you can sit and relax or continue walking for as long as you want to!

With only 12 rooms we pride ourselves on a personal and relaxed atmosphere for our guests. We are very fortunate that a significant number of our guests return repeatedly and become more like family members.
