About Kholiwe on Kruger
A peaceful bushveld retreat in Marloth Park
A peaceful bushveld retreat in Marloth Park
Kholiwe on Kruger is a relaxed safari lodge set in the heart of Marloth Park, where the rhythm of the bush shapes every stay.
Surrounded by free-roaming wildlife, quiet natural scenery and warm Lowveld sunsets, Kholiwe offers a place to slow down, reconnect and experience the wild side of Marloth Park without losing the comfort of a thoughtfully prepared lodge stay.
Here, the bush is not something you only visit on a game drive. It is around you. In the trees, along the roads, near the lodge, and in the stillness between one moment and the next.
Where nature meets comfort
Kholiwe was created for guests who want an authentic bushveld experience with a little more ease.
Our accommodation includes luxury chalets, luxury rooms and standard rooms, each designed to offer a comfortable base for exploring Kruger National Park, Marloth Park and the surrounding Lowveld. Some spaces are simple and practical. Others offer a more private, indulgent stay with outdoor showers, bathtubs and private splash pools.
Whichever room you choose, the feeling remains the same: calm, natural and close to the bush.
Stay close to Kruger
One of Kholiwe’s greatest advantages is its location.
Marloth Park sits along the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park, making it a beautiful base for guests wanting to enjoy guided Kruger game drives, bush walks, Lionspruit activities and regional excursions.
Early mornings can begin with safari drives into Kruger. Afternoons can be spent beside the pool, exploring Marloth Park’s self-drive routes, or simply sitting quietly while wildlife moves through the surrounding conservancy.
It is this balance that makes Kholiwe special. Adventure is close. Stillness is even closer.
A lodge with a personal touch
Kholiwe is not a large, impersonal hotel. It is a more intimate lodge experience, where guests are welcomed with care and assisted throughout their stay.
Our team can help with game drive bookings, guided excursions, airport shuttles, spa treatments, meal arrangements and special occasions. Whether you are visiting for a romantic getaway, birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or family safari, we aim to make the experience feel easy and memorable.
Small details matter here. A quiet welcome. A useful recommendation. A special arrangement prepared at the right moment.
Thoughtful lodge comforts
The lodge offers complimentary WiFi and is solar-powered, helping guests enjoy a more comfortable and reliable stay in the bushveld.
Guests can also enjoy relaxed meal times, access to the swimming pool, outdoor lodge spaces and the simple pleasure of being surrounded by nature.
Marloth Park is home to wildlife that roams freely, so guests are encouraged to keep a respectful distance, move with awareness, and enjoy the privilege of being close to animals in a natural conservancy setting.
Our promise
At Kholiwe, we believe a safari stay should feel unhurried, personal and rooted in place.
We want guests to arrive, exhale, and feel the bush begin to do what it does best: quiet the noise, sharpen the senses, and create memories that stay with you long after you leave.
