Marloth Park is a unique project. It opened in 1972 as a holiday township, though a large part of the park remained natural. There are no internal fences and the vegetation remains in its original state. Marloth Park is separated by a boundary fence and by the Crocodile River from Kruger Park. Marloth Park is a wildlife sanctuary situated on the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park. (Approximately 390 kilometers from Pretoria). Marloth has its own wildlife and boasts four of the big five with the exception of elephant , however as the crocodile river forms the boundary between Marloth Park and the Kruger National Park you are lightly to spot elephants playing in the river. Animals such as Kudu , Zebra , Giraffe , Blue wildebeest , Nyala , Impala , Warthogs, and plenty more roam freely between the units that are built on 1500 hectares. With the dangerous game restricted you can take a walk along the river or a mountain bike ride on many a dirt roads and is a birder's paradise. Elephant often visit the Crocodile River that forms the boundary to the Kruger National Park. A variety of restaurants will cater for the hungry.
