VuguVugu is a private home situated in Marloth Park on the border of the Kruger National Park. Stylish and comfortable living with the African bush literally at your front door makes for a unique experience. A 200 meter stroll leads you to a viewpoint overlooking the Crocodile River, where our guests often see elephant, hippos, big cats and more, while zebra, blue wildebeest, kudu and more are frequent visitors to the house. The house has 2 en suite bedrooms with aircon and sleeps 7.
We live in the small town of Hectorspruit close to Marloth Park, and can easily be reached by phone should you have need of us while visiting. A WhatsApp number will be provided once your booking is confirmed.
Marloth Park is a wildlife conservancy bordering the Kruger National Park, with a multitude of small and large non-predatory game roaming the property. Situated about halfway between the towns of Komatipoort and Malelane, grocery stores, pharmacies and restaurants are within easy driving distance. The park itself has a recreation center with a restaurant, small shop for all the basics, a large swimming pool, garage and more. While there are various options for safari tour operators and even a shuttle to and from OR Thambo Airport to Marloth, it is definitely a destination which require that you have your own vehicle. Many of our visitors never leave the park during their stay, preferring to simply relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility, but a longer visit makes Marloth Park the perfect home base from which to explore both the Mpumalanga lowveld and bushveld.
