The moment we stepped after a long drive into Turaco Lodge we were embraced by Terry and Trudy like long lost family members. They kindly toured us around, explained everything such as honesty bar, coffee machine and showed us our suite with living room, two bedrooms and ensuite bathroom. Everything was shipshape and when I had a glimpse in Terrie's stock/service room I understood why: there is a very organized, orderly mind in charge. This order showed throughout our stay. Wether a superbly prepared breakfast basket by the staff at 4am ready for game drives, or a neatly braai (traditional SA barbecue) set up with finest south african meat delicacies...it was always ideal. The owner himself, Marcel, a lovable fellow, who takes guest entertainment and their well being seriously, was grilling the outstanding meat to perfection. Terry, Trudy and Marcel shared their fast and in depth knowledge of all animals in the park with us and particularly Terry is a nature enthusiast par excellence. One more issue: Marcel has a good contact for game drives. His name is Dirk Grove and he is one of the most outstanding guides we ever experienced. Very skilled and reliable driver, always on the lookout for animals, well learned about their behaviour and more than lucky to find them. We saw with him a leopard with his kill resting on a thick branch in the shade, 13 rhinos, among them a mother and her calf and a pride of three large male lions and six lionesses gathering up for the nightly hunt in a river bed. A game drive with Dirk is something special! Highly recommended. The lodge patio is regularly visited by the free roaming animals (impala, kudu, zebra, vervet monkeys, bushbabies or Galagos etc) in Marloth park. Lovely sights indeed.

We stayed in the Swazi Experience Villa which was an excellent choice, the outdoor area looked into the bush and we saw most of the wildlife on offer in Marloth Park, from creepy crawlies to a family of warthogs right on our doorstep. The Villa itself was well appointed and everywhere was immaculately cleaned daily.

My family and I really enjoyed the stay. It was fabulous the area was peaceful and the animals that came to visit we really had a good time. The house was beautiful more than I expected. The pool clean and refreshing. Aircon and ceiling fan kept the house cool we loved it. The animal visit was perfect.

The place is magical! The house surrounded us with African warmth and comfort. Nowhere else have we seen such a richly detailed environment. The reality even surpasses the photos of the cottage. It's a pity that we only stayed for one night.

Beautiful place! Animals across the river are in full view. Amazing staff, very tasty food. Good selection of wines. Special thanks to our ranger Elvin. Everything was excellent. I definitely highly recommend this lodge to everyone!

Place by the river, nice braai made by owners, good base for exploring South of Kruger Park. Wine and drinks available for the guest, small but beautiful garden to chill out. Old but very classy furniture, place with history

The room is big and the view direct to the river is fantastic because you can see and watch animals. Location is also perfect. Staffs are friendly and the lodge is lovely full of memorabilias from guest and it is clean.

We love it here, just the perfect location for a stay in Kruger. The rooms and facilities are great along with the staff, food and drives.

Super close to the town and to the malelane gate Also the view at night over the river seeing all the animals walk past ist amazing

Everything was amazing! The food was outstanding and the service by the staff was flawless! Will definitely be back

We loved staying at Jackalberry Ridge and the Marlith Park. Perfect Location to go into Kruger.

The accommodation has been made into a lovely area with nice views. Staff were very helpful.

An excellent resort - our fourth stay at Mjejane & certainly not our last.

The location, seconds from the gate. The wonderful staff.
