There aren’t many people out there who haven’t dreamt of experiencing an African escape – and I don’t mean lounging on Camps Bay beach. I’m talking about the true African experience that includes elephant rides, interacting with wildlife, and spotting some of the Big Five in the flesh. All this and more can be done at Royale Marlothi game lodge.

Lodge (TG Website)

Royale Marlothi offers a 4-star bush getaway within the Marloth Park Wildife Conservancy, alongside the renowned Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga. It provides a peaceful haven to the nature lover, surrounded by a subtle blend of natural and man-made beauty. The accommodation consists of a bar, restaurant, and three air-conditioned African inspired chalets that sleep two to four people. Rates include breakfast and a bottle of champagne on arrival. Activities include a South African safari in an open-top vehicle, horseback and elephant rides, sun downer drives in Marloth Park, rhino walks, micro light flights, river rafting, golfing, tiger fishing, and day trips to Maputo or Swaziland, or simply sitting back to admire the African sunsets. Guests are thrilled with close and personal encounters with animals such as kudu, giraffe, zebra, warthog, elephant, leopard, lion, and a variety of birdlife. With the absence of artificial light, guests can admire the ceiling of stars, while listening to a symphony of crickets, intermitted by the roar of a lion. More info…
