About Kruger Riverside Lodge

Kruger Riverside Lodge offers an unforgettable accommodation experience, where luxury meets the wild African Bush. It is a common sight for animals like Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebeest or Kudu to walk around the property grounds and even come in for a closer look.

The lodge is situated in Marloth Park Conservancy, which borders the Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in South Africa.

The lodge overlooks the Crocodile River where the African Big 5 can be spotted from our balcony and is situated 18 km from Crocodile Bridge entrance to the Kruger National Park. Accommodation is offered in 5 Luxurious Rooms with air-conditioning, flat-screen television with DSTV satellite channels and an en-suite bathroom.

The lodge offers a swimming pool, guest lounge and 2 balconies. One balcony faces the swimming pool, and the second balcony faces the Crocodile River in the Kruger National Park, where guests can enjoy a unique view into the Park and over the River.

A heartfelt thank you the owners Charl and Riana de Kock for hosting us at their lodge.
Thank you very much to Lynette and Esti for making us feel welcome and making my Dad’s 80th birthday weekend so special, from a lovely birthday cake to champagne!
Lido was very helpful and looked after us the entire weekend.
Our rooms were beautiful and the food lovely.
A special thank you to Bertie. You made the game drive so memorable. He went out of his way to show us as much as possible and his knowledge on the animals were amazing!
Kruger Riverside Lodge is a small establishment which cares for their guests and make you feel like you are at a 5-star resort.
We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you SO much for everything!

Overall property is in good shape, very well maintained and clean. All the staff members were good to interact, accommodative and providing support and help to exceed our experience. Peter who is property manager is great host, we truly enjoyed having candle night dinner with all the guests staying in this property. All the transportation between hotel and Kruger park was managed and arranged by hotel. They have some more option on dinner menu. We had an excellent experience and we will stay again in future.

Very good value and comfortable stay near the KNP

We had a wonderful stay at Marloth Park Riverside lodge. It is located about 15min drive outside the KNP crocodile bridge gate. The food was just ok but the staff is absolutely fantastic.
Everyone is so nice and so welcoming.
There are only a few rooms in the property. The ground floor rooms are bigger. Upstairs there is a view of the dry crocodile river bed from the large varanda and an honesty bar.
I would prefer to stay downstairs.
The adapted bathroom upstairs works but it is small and less comfortable.
We were there during my birthday and I received a beautiful cake at dinner.
What a lovely gesture from the staff and management.
Thank you to Jessica, Keegan, Carlos (washed our car), the cook and the cleaning ladies whom I did not get their names.
I really had a very good birthday and wonderful chats shared with the other guests at meal time.
We recommend this lodge and we will be back

Fantastic stay! Jessica was so accommodating and sweet, the room was spa-like, and the breakfast spread was the height of luxury. Only 15min from Kruger's Crocodile Gate. Would love to return!

Absolute GEM!

My aunt and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kruger Riverside Lodge. Jessica and Peter were such fantastic and accommodating hosts. The rooms and decor were stunning, and the breakfast spread went above and beyond. Prime location only 15 minutes from crocodile gate. Zebra and other wildlife walk around freely—an absolute treat to observe. We loved it so much that we booked a second night in our way over to Maputo (only a 2hr drive). Can't recommend it enough!!

Another great visit to South Africa

From arrival to departure, a most wonderful stay in Kruger Riverside Lodge. The service and food were outstanding. A real home away from home. And, as usual, Marloth Park was a great place to stay when visting the Kruger.

O lodge é um primor, desde a receptividade antes mesmo da reserva até o momento do check out. Tivemos 3 noites muito agradáveis. Ao chegarmos de carro fomos surpreendidos por uma linda girafa que nos recebeu amavelmente. O Quarto era espaçoso, cama confortável, chuveiro excelente. E por acaso, esse quarto que ficamos tem um chuveiro na varanda onde você toma banho quente olhando para a natureza. Uma grata surpresa!!!! A comida também é feita com muito carinho e é muito saborosa. As refeições são servidas na mesa compartilhada com outros hóspedes e é uma ótima forma de conhecermos pessoas surpreendentes de vários lugares do mundo. Os animais podem andar livremente no parque em que o lodge está localizado. Vimos Kudus, Bush babies, monkeys, giraffe, impalas, tudo ao redor da propriedade. Estava tudo perfeito. Esti, Promisse, Lido and all the staff were great!

O hotel mais sensacional que já estivemos. Atendimento e equipe nos fazem sentir em casa. Ter a chance de ver os animais tão de perto é magnífico. Ester e equipe pensam nos detalhes. Ao sair para o Safari logo cedo, mandam café da manhã. Tem geladeira no hotel para pegarmos bebidas por um valor justo e a janta com todos é uma experiência incrível para conhecer outras pessoas.

Gegessen wird mit allen Gästen auf der Terrasse in unmittelbarer Nähe der Tiere im

Kruger Gates (Crocodile Bridge Gate und Malelane Gate) sind in 15min bzw. 30min zu erreichen.
Parkplätze direkt vor der Lodge.
