Kruger Riverside Lodge in Marloth Park – where luxury meets the wild African Bush

Kruger Riverside Lodge

Situated in the seclusion of the Marloth Park Conservancy, in Mpumalanga, which borders the majestic Kruger National Park, the Kruger Riverside Lodge is the best place to enjoy the serenity of the African bushveld.

You and your loved ones will be able to enjoy your safari holiday at your own pace while soaking up this unique bushveld experience. Go to sleep while listening to a distant lion’s roar or hyena’s laugh. Wake up to encounters with animals such as zebra, giraffe, wildebeest or kudu that are often seen roaming around the property grounds.

Many of their previous guests had many wonderful things to say about the hospitality, facilities and their overall experiences at Kruger Riverside Lodge. It’s expected as they are part of the DCC Hotel Group, which runs several other luxury accommodation properties from the Cape West Coast to the Kruger National Park.

Things to do at the Lodge

Since the lodge is situated in the Marloth Park Conservancy, which borders the famous Kruger National Park and overlooks the Crocodile River, the Big 5 – lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo, and other animals are often spotted from their balconies.

It’s not just about game drives; there is also plenty to keep you busy in the Mpumalanga area. You can also experience hiking trails, walks, birdwatching, local archaeological sites, MTB trails, forest picnics and photography among other activities.

Reviews from previous Kruger Riverside Lodge guests

“It is my second stay at riverside lodge, and I will return. everything just perfect, the location, the facility, excellent service from peter and his team, very nice food and nice to see the animals roaming around the lodge. I appreciate as well the vicinity to the gate of Marloth Park but most of all the service provided by Peter,” wrote Paolo R on their TripAdvisor page.

Marleen S added; “The lodge is beautiful. We loved the animals, the quietness and the sounds of nature. The viewing deck with sightings at the Kruger park. Our daughter has a coeliac disease and she ate prepared gluten free meals without any problem. Great! All the staff were friendly and Peter is a good host.”

“The Lodge has a wonderful and very relaxed atmosphere. The short and easy route to the gate allowed us to conveniently enter the park as one of the first along with our breakfast box from the lodge. Peter and his team are doing a fantastic job – friendly, kind and outstandingly attentive. We greatly enjoyed our stay in the clean and charming room,” said Traveljumbo.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
