About This Property

Ngala's Rest 101 is a well-maintained self-catering apartment within Marloth Park — perfect for couples or small families seeking an affordable base for Kruger National Park exploration. The unit is simply furnished but comfortable, with everything you need for a bush stay: a functional kitchen, comfortable beds, and an outdoor area where Marloth Park's free-roaming wildlife provides the entertainment.

Marloth Park's unfenced conservancy model means kudu, impala, warthogs, giraffe, and zebra wander freely through the residential streets and gardens. It's not uncommon to find a family of warthogs on your patio or a giraffe browsing the trees above your car.

The unit's proximity to Kruger's Crocodile Bridge Gate means morning game drives can begin within minutes of leaving.

Why We Love It

Ngala's Rest is no-frills Marloth Park at its most practical. Clean, functional, well-positioned, and incredibly affordable — it lets you put your budget toward Kruger gate fees and restaurant meals rather than accommodation. For self-drive safari enthusiasts who spend their days in the park, this is all you need.
