    This is a gorgeous property. I've stayed here before with family and we loved it just as much both times. It's comfortable and rustic, the location is excellent for nature and access to the Kruger, and it's very well set up. My group took turns...

Lion Tree Bush Lodge gazes through the Marula canopy in Marloth Park, a 3000ha private bushveld reserve adjoining Kruger Park. This simple and secluded base in the heart of the bush is for your exclusive use - an Out of Africa experience of golden sunsets from the deck, cicada beetles and the roar of distant and not so distant lions cutting the night sky. For a night under the African skies, head over to the lookout, an elevated thatched viewing deck with a double bed 4 metres away from a big 5 reserve. Nice! Common to all the room are fans, mozzie nets and quality linen. In keeping with an away-from-it-all bush holiday, there's thankfully no TV or internet. Out on the deck you’ve got a portable braai and a splash pool to cool off in. With Kruger’s Crocodile Bridge Gate a mere 20 kms away, heading into the park for your early morning or sundowner drive is a doddle. Nearby Lionspruit Reserve is also an option. And, for a bite out, there are a number of restaurants within Marloth Park itself. Simple, comfortable, private, good value, plenty of wildlife on your doorstep, glowing reviews on Tripadvisor, your fantasy real bush holiday is now one step closer to reality.
Lion Tree Bush Lodge was born from a love of nature, animals, photography and a huge passion to live in the bush. We chose the property because it was so secluded, mostly surrounded by parkland, on the fence of Lionspruit & a known spot for hearing lions in the evenings….we couldn't resist.
Many blissfull times are spent here and leaving Marloth becomes more difficult with each visit. Here you can relax close to nature and the free-roaming game within the Reserve…affording incredible photographic & game viewing opportunities, magnificent sunsets from an elevated look-out & warm bushveld days...
