Upmarket bush lodge in Marloth Park — sophisticated self-catering with wildlife roaming the gardens
About Turaco Lodge
Turaco Lodge is a self-catering property in Marloth Park, a private wildlife estate bordering Kruger National Park’s Crocodile River boundary near Crocodile Bridge Gate. Marloth Park is home to free-roaming wildlife including giraffe, zebra, kudu, warthog, and various antelope species that wander between the properties.
The estate offers a unique bush experience — guests wake to wildlife on their doorstep and can be inside Kruger National Park for a Big Five game drive within minutes. Most properties feature private pools, braai areas, and fully equipped kitchens for self-catering.
Marloth Park has become one of the most popular budget-friendly alternatives to staying inside Kruger, combining wildlife estate living with easy park access at a fraction of lodge prices.
