Mbingu Lodge Click on a photo to enlarge it. Description: Mbingu is the Swahili word for Heaven and you'll find your own little corner of heaven here in Marloth Park, which is a private residential Nature Reserve, situated at the Southern tip of the Kruger National Park. Mbingu Lodge is a double storey under thatch. It's surrounded by unspoilt bush and is very secluded. A permanent water hole is situated nearby, which encourages the movement of animals through the property. As we believe in a true bush experience we don't provide TV, radio or air conditioning, but all bed rooms are fitted with ceiling fans, and free standing fans are also available, for you to move where most convenient. The house is light, airy, and very spacious and consists of: Downstairs: 2 twin bedrooms with en-suite bath rooms and dressing areas (the twin beds can be pushed together to form one large bed if preferred) Well equipped kitchen and scullery for all your self catering needs, Spacious lounge and dining room Upstairs: Double bedroom, bathroom and further lounge area with double Sofa bed Outside: Built in braai and large entertainment area Splash pool A 'feeding station' where you can place animal food. Large car-port to provide shade for either your car or visiting game! At the end of the day sip sundowners on the upper deck or take in the spectacular sunsets. After dark you can identify the constellations in an unpolluted sky, and absorb the sounds of the African night. Listen for the call of the lion, elephant, hyena and hippos, among others, as well as the night jars, owls and dikkops. Watch out for the red eyes of the bush babies who love to jump through the trees. This is also the time the duiker like to visit. Wake with the sunrise, to a chorus of bird calls and see the African bush through your bedroom window. You can enjoy close-up and personal visits with much of the wildlife in Marloth Park. Animals such as giraffe, impala, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, bush buck, and many others might call by while you enjoy your breakfast on the east facing stoep.
