The Offer
A five night stay for two people in four star luxury accommodation at the Royal Kruger Lodge, bordering South Africa's internationally renowned Kruger National Park.
Each day of your trip you will enjoy a full breakfast, light lunch and a four course traditional South African boma dinner, with any dietary requirements catered for upon request.
A guided half day open vehicle safari; a magical sundowner safari along the beaten track of Crocodile River which includes beers, wines, soft drinks and wildlife spotting; an additional full day open air safari; and a guided orientation bushwalk.
Two $200 gift certificates towards accommodation if you wish to extend your stay, and 10% off all additional activities booked through the lodge such as golf and a professional photography course (see the 'Activities' tab for more information).
What We Like
Nestled in the 'wild frontier region' of Mpumalana Province, the lodge's surrounds abound with natural diversity; over 60 species of mammals including lions, leopards, rhinos and giraffes call this home, as do over 500 species of bird and numerous reptiles.
Nothing beats the stirring when encountering the 'big five' - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo - from an open vehicle on a safari led by highly skilled rangers.
Due to the tranquility of the private boutique lodge and its location within the fenceless Marloth Park, a friendly buck, zebra or warthog may just stumble across your path; guests are often thrilled with close and personal encounters on the veranda, at the water hole, at the pool, and during bushwalks and safaris.
Your traditional South African four-course boma dinner will be taken beside a mulberry tree under the night sky's great swathe of stars, with the sounds of the African wilderness around you; an unforgettable cultural experience prepared with the freshest ingredients by a local chef.

Kruger Game Drive (6-7 hours)
Experience Africa at its finest throughout the day scanning endless bushfield, tropical forests, shimmering plains and abundant flora. Over 147 animal species and 500 colourful birds are there for the viewing. Keep a close eye out for the thrilling sights of the Big 5 - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Capture magical photographic moments in our open game vehicles with qualified and knowledgeable game rangers. Breakfast and lunch are provided in the park.
Crocodile River Sundowner Safari (2 hours)
Relax in an open safari vehicle off the beaten track of the Crocodile River, buzzing with various wildlife. Enjoy sundowners while watching the flaming sun gracefully sink beneath the horizon. Swallows soar and elephants are frequently been seen crossing the river at sunset. Crocodiles bask in the remaining rays and hippos ears emerge and submerge playfully in the water.
Bush Orientation Walk (2-3 hours)
Probably the closest that you'll come to the wild. Join a guide for an up close and personal experience of the safer bushfield surrounding the lodge. You may see tracks and identify giraffe, zebra, kudu, impala, vervet monkeys, mongoose, spotted genet or warthogs - or birds including fork tail drongo, african fish eagle, marabou stork, yellow billed hornbill. The amazing tapestry of a spider's web as the sunlight dances off dew beads, a colourfully miraged chameleon or a dung beetle hard at work are often experienced by the avid adventurer. Sometimes, its the hidden secrets of the bush which guests most treasure as memories of their safari holiday.

Spa Treatments
In the 'wild frontier' in Mpumalanga Province— an area teeming with exotic African wildlife— the Crocodile River creates a natural boundary between Marloth Park and the Royal Kruger Lodge, and the internationally renowned Kruger National Park. With no fencing in sight, the park's resident mammals, birds and reptiles roam freely amongst the vast landscape; striking striped zebras munch leisurely, giraffes stoop under branches and dusty elephant calves frolick at the waterhole.
With the dangerous game animals restricted to the Lion's Spruit reserve, adventurous guests are free to wander along the river, take a mountain bike trip down dirt tracks or walk through the bush. Of an evening, raise a glass to toast the sunset as it blisters the horizon before you retire to the private lodge. Here, the sounds of the wild follow you; a lion's roar echoing in the night.
For a cultural experience, dine on a sumptuous four course boma meal prepared with the freshest ingredients by the local chef. Beneath a canopy of stars, beside an ancient mulberry tree and surrounded by bush, taste traditional South African flavours. Occasionally, an errant warthog or zebra will cross the path of the torch candles, perhaps curious about the sound of lively local drumming.
In the warmer months of spring (September-November) and summer (December-February), the bush is verdant and lush and the national park abounds with newborn animals; stumbling impala, playful elephant calves and baboons hitching a ride on mother's belly. During the dry months of autumn (March-May) and winter (June-July), the bush is sparser making animals easier to spy. Also, due to the lack of water, wildlife gather at the waterhole more often and a greater number visit the lodge. In fact, it is here at the veranda or when relaxing by the serene swimming pool that a friendly zebra, a warthog or buck may stumble across your path.
We absolutely love Royal Kruger - from the comfortable accommodation and the delicious food to the amazing animal encounters. We were told that if we were lucky that we would get to see some animals up close but never imagined that they would actually walk up to us at our game lodge! Overall, was just an amazing experience.”tripadvisor.com.au
We did a three night stay at the Royal Kruger Lodge in Jan 2012 and had an amazing time there. The general manager of the lodge is very hospitable and knowledgeable about the various animals and birds that roam the area. The boma dinners were 4 course meals and - wow - the chef prepares a succulent lamb shank. One of the best I have ever tasted. I really think it’s the staff that make the place what it is. I can’t wait to go back for another stay."tripadvisor.com.au
This was a truly superb experience. It was a special weekend away and Gavin could not have been more accommodating along with the rest of the lodge staff. It is so seldom that you get treated like royalty in this world and this was the one time when honestly NOTHING was too much trouble, from the early morning wake up calls...to arranging a special birthday hot stone therapy massage. Thank you to Vic (the one owner) for appointing Gavin to run his lodge as it was his own, how refreshing to be spoilt 24 hours a day. We will be back and we will recommend this lodge to anyone.”tripadvisor.com.au
