About the property
Home from home
in the bush
Hakuna Matata is a spacious, fully-equipped holiday home set in Marloth Park, one of South Africa's most unique private nature reserves. The property sits just 100 metres from the electrified Kruger National Park fence — close enough to spot elephant, lion, and leopard on foot from behind the fence line.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and space for six guests, it works equally well for families, couples, and small groups of friends. The upstairs viewing deck with BBQ overlooks the garden and bush, and the private pool is open year-round.
The Crocodile River runs just metres from the fence line — at night, the sound of the water and the bush is like nothing else in South Africa.

Why Hakuna Matata?
Steps from Kruger
Just 100 metres from the KNP electrified fence line and 15 minutes' drive from Crocodile Bridge gate. Walk the fence line and spot the Big Five — for free, every day.
Your Private Retreat
The whole house is yours: private pool, braai deck with Kruger views, air conditioning in every room, and a fully equipped kitchen. No shared facilities, no crowded lodges.
Wildlife at Your Door
Marloth Park is an unfenced private reserve — warthog, impala, kudu, and nyala wander past daily. Fall asleep to the sound of the Crocodile River.
Great Value for Groups
Sleeps 6 in three bedrooms — far better value than paying per-room in a Kruger lodge. Ideal for families, couples travelling together, or a small group of friends.
Two Kruger Gates
Choose between Crocodile Bridge gate (15 min) and Malalane gate — both within easy reach. More flexibility means more time inside the park.
Attentive Hosts
Guests consistently praise clear communication, easy check-in, and a house that has everything you need. Rated 8.6 Fabulous — 42 stays and counting.

What guests say
"Beautiful house for the family. Loved the amount of animals that came past during our visit. The sound of the river is just amazing — stunning location!"
Sage

"Location to KNP was ideal — options of entry from two park gates, Malalane or Crocodile Bridge. Marloth Park has a lot to offer on its own as well. The property has a very relaxing feel."
