Lala Ehlathini is a luxury Treetop Lodge inside Marloth Park, bordering the world famous Kruger National Park. It is a Private Wildlife Conservancy where the animals roam freely around the properties.

South Africans seldom stay inside the Kruger Park itself since the camps are fenced off from the wildlife, Marloth Park is usually where locals stay due to its location and proximity to nature. What an experience!

Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, and families looking for a "Big 5" Safari

The Space:
Location is key at Lala Ehlathini, being situated on a quiet road at the bottom of the park you are assured peace & quiet.

The Lodge is built on stilts so you are in the treetops! The underneath also provides an escape for the animals when the weather turns bad. It is something very special to have the African wildlife literally on your doorstep, and although none of the dangerous game like lion, elephant, rhino and hippo are able to access the park, we understand that this can still be a daunting experience for many on their first trip to the African bush which is why we are sure you will appreciate the house being raised 4m above the ground. Not only does this allow for commanding views over the surrounds, but it also affords you a safe vantage point to appreciate the wildlife without getting too close. And if you are especially fortunate, you might come eye-to-eye with one of the roaming giraffes as they make a quick stop to enjoy a snack from the beautiful bush-willow tree which adjoins the deck!

During the day many different animals will roam across the property, the usual crowd include zebra, warthog, ostrich, blue wildebeest and many types of antelope such as kudu, steenbok, duiker and impala. You will also hear the fish eagles calling throughout the day as they fish the Crocodile river not far from the lodge. As evening sets in you will often hear the lions calling from the nearby Kruger Park as well as the yelping of the spotted hyena and back backed jackal.

Of course, no African bush experience will be complete without sitting around a bush-fire, so feel free to enjoy using the fire pit away from the house, however we also have a gas barbecue on the deck so you can cook out and enjoy the great outdoors without the risk of an unexpected encounter with one of the “locals”.

The house has everything you require for a luxurious bush escape. The main area is Air-conditioned as well as the master bedroom. There is a large 43" SMART TV in the lounge with Netflix and YouTube. The lounge furniture is large and comfortable and there are deck-loungers for sitting outside and just enjoying the bush while animal spotting.

WIFi is high-speed and unlimited.

The bathroom has bath and shower facilities.
