Yes, we can organise pickups and drop offs to and from Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport, or from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport etc.
We always advise our guests to hire a vehicle if they can, as there is so much to do and see in the area. The drive from Johannesburg takes approximately five hours on well-maintained asphalt (tar) road surfaces and are a pleasure to drive. It gives you the chance to view a wide range of the countryside.
South Safari Lodge is located in the bush where there is no public transport, so getting around can be difficult, depending on your needs, luckily most amenities in Marloth Park such as the Marlothi shopping centre are walking distance from the lodge.
Your sense of adventure and a love for wildlife and Africa. It all depends on the time of year that you visit. South Africa has four seasons, but they tend to blend into one another. The dry season (Winter) generally runs from April to October, and this is the best time of the year for game viewing in the parks, water holes dry up, vegetation thins out making game viewing easier. November to March (Summer) is the wet season and can be hot and humid. The bush is beautiful with its green foliage though and with a little focussed obsession, you will still see all the animals! A good pair of binoculars is advisable and your favourite camera to capture the once in a lifetime moment.
Remember to bring comfortable "sensible bush " footwear and clothing, your sunglasses, phone, phone charger, and correct power point adapter for South Africa.
Consult your doctor re Malaria advice for the Lowveld region, sun screen, personal items, depending on the time of year will dictate what clothing to bring there is ample advice online regarding this, but please feel free to contact us for further info or help.
South Safari Lodge is nestled in the holiday town of Marloth Park, a Wildlife conservation area close to Kruger National Park. We are in the Lowveld and the start of the "Wild Frontier" in Mpumalanga, South Africa.
The Mpumalanga region ("where the sun rises" in Swazi) is the gateway to adventure. The region is known for its natural beauty from Blyde River Canyon to Kruger National Park and in between. Marloth Park shares its border with the Kruger National Park with the Crocodile River being our boundary, you can walk, drive, and cycle along the banks of the Crocodile River safely due to a 12ft electric game fence, which is designed to keep out dangerous game. You can expect to encounter a wide variety of game sightings along the length of the river such as Elephant, White Rhino, Cape Buffalo, Waterbuck, Lion, Hippomopotemus etc.
