The Setting
Marloth Park: A Sanctuary Beside Kruger
Tusker House is located inside Marloth Park, a wildlife sanctuary that borders the world-famous Kruger National Park.
Here, you’ll experience:
The stillness of true bushveld living
The sounds of animals moving naturally around you
The chance to explore Kruger’s Big 5 just minutes away
Walks, drives, birdwatching, or simply unwinding on the stoep — however you choose to spend your days, the bush meets you with openness and wonder.

Moments You’ll Remember Forever
Early mornings with golden light over the waterhole

These are the memories that stay long after you return home.
