    We had a wonderful short stay. The house was modern and comfortable. We particularly liked the pool and the ability to still use the lights and fans even during loadshedding. Thank you.

Uchawi wa Afrika
The adventure begins at Uchawi as where else you can have a zebra drinking or a kudu eating while you relax in the pool? Wild animals, but in Marloth Park they literally eat out of your hand. Your luxury villa, comfortably furnished and fully equipped, allows you to enjoy your well-deserved rest and privacy, while the wild animals roam freely in the surrounding bush. Enjoy the bird choir from the verandah, with a cup of coffee in hand, in the morning or hear lion’s and hippo roar during your braai and in the evening. Sleeping with the sounds of wild animals: it is possible at Uchawi. You are on a safari but in your own garden! An unforgettable Africa experience. Bushvilla Uchawi is located in Marloth Park, a unique private game reserve and holiday park on the southern border of the authentic Kruger Park. On two sides Marloth Park is connected to the Kruger Park by the Crocodile River. On the river banks you can see the animals of the Kruger Park and almost daily “big 5” members. When you arrive, Adele will welcome you showing you the house and handing over the keys. If so desired, the fridge is filled with basic products so that you can relax immediately.
Uchawi wa Afrika literally means 'the magic of Africa'. And so it started ... Almost 20 years ago we went to Africa for the first time. Initially the two of us, later also with our children. Africa had a deep impact on us: the light, the sky, the colors, smells and sounds, the people and animals. Meanwhile we have seen many parts of southern Africa, have traveled a lot and experienced magical moments, including sunrise and sunset when the colors are at their best: magic hour! During one of our trips we ended up in Marloth Park: a piece of paradise on earth. For us this is where everything came together: living between wild animals in a beautiful bush villa with a breathtaking setting, only a few hundred meters from the famous Kruger National Park. We wish that your stay in our house will give your own lasting experience of magical Africa.
The unique wildlife and holiday village Marloth Park is tucked away in a cove of the southern part of the Kruger Park, in the province of Mpumalanga . Marloth Park has two (small) shopping centers, the Marlothi Shopping Center and the Bush Center, where most food and other supplies can be purchased. For larger stores (including Super Spar and Shoprite) you can go either to Komatipoort (15 min) or Malelane (30 min). Don't feel like cooking? There are many restaurants in Marloth Park where you can taste genuine South African cuisine at an affordable price. Marloth Park has its own game reserve: Lionspruit. Covering about 1500 hectares you can make a wonderful game drive here to look for the lions, rhinos, zebra 's, buffalo, kudu 's or giraffe 's. Lionspruit has some wonderful viewpoints / water places and at one of them you can have a picnic or braai. Watch out for the lions! Marloth Park has over 14 kilometer of walking / cycling paths alongside the Crocodile river, where the 'Big Five' is regularly spotted. These trails are generally well accessible. You can rent bicycles. Nelspruit is the capital of Mpumalanga province and is a little over an hour's drive (90 km).
