2 Days Kholiwe Safari
**Accommodation: Kholiwe on Kruger Lodge**
**Location:**
Kholiwe on Kruger Lodge is set in the serene environment of Marloth Park, offering a peaceful retreat. Conveniently located less than a kilometer from the Crocodile River, it shares its borders with Kruger National Park, providing easy access to the area's rich wildlife and natural wonders. The lodge can accommodate up to 20 guests, making it ideal for small groups. It features eight charming rooms, each with its own unique characteristics. Three of the rooms boast breathtaking views of a perennial stream, vital for the Crocodile River's ecosystem. Two rooms are situated right by the stream, while three others open onto private, enclosed courtyards, ensuring a more intimate and secluded experience.
**Wildlife Viewing:**
One of the standout features of a stay at Kholiwe on Kruger Lodge is the opportunity for wildlife observation right at your doorstep. While your main wildlife encounters will occur within Kruger National Park, you can also enjoy sightings of grazers such as giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species from the comfort of your room. This allows you to experience a glimpse of South Africa's remarkable wildlife even before entering the park.
