The whole trip was amazing and life changing. The hostel was really cozy, rooms and bathrooms were nice, food good and the whole enviorment and atmosphere was great! The group trip host Harrison did an amazing job to make sure that everybody felt included and had fun. It was nice seeing the grass we planted grow so that we felt like we actually made a difference. Just a 10/10 experience

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel (even so that I extended it to a week long after the program :D ) The place makes you feel at home, the staff go beyond and above to do their very best, they are one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and all so knowledgeable on the wildlife in the park and surroundings. The place where the hostel is located is very special because you get to see sooo many animals just by walking a few meters from it (or they even come to the hostel itself! ) It’s like having the opportunity of doing a walking safari every!! I couldn’t recommend this place more!!

Aline! What a joy it was having you here (even longer than planned).
Thank you for the kind words about the team and our little corner of Marloth Park. We loved your energy, curiosity, and the way you embraced the “walking safari” life you really experienced everything Marloth has to offer.
You’re always part of the Kruger family now. Our gate’s open whenever you’re back this way, and we’ll keep the bush vibes (and a plate at the table) ready for you. Thanks again for the amazing time!
