Lahlekile Nathi is conveniently situated in Marloth Park between the Crocodile River Gate and Malelane gate, Kruger Park, Mpumalanga. We are not only a short distance away from Lions Spruit, but for the fit and healthy a short 1,2km walk will take you right to the fence bordering the Crocodile river of Kruger National Park. As an alternative to hotel accommodation, guest can enjoy the benefits of

self-catering accommodation in a private home. Our quant log home is elevated on stilts which make shift for your vehicle or two to be parked under, enclosed with lockable palisades. Up the stairs you will be welcomed by a large deck hugging the house from two sides. To your left is the entertainment area fitted with a built-in braai, an outdoor dining area and a cozy splash pool. The views from here are difficult to comprehend in writing. The very big Marula tree is not only a playground for the bushbabies, but also ensures the much-needed shade from the scorching Lowveld sun. To the right is the outdoor lounge area that leads into the home where the air-conditioned living room, open plan with the kitchen, welcomes you. At night you will sleep tight in one of the two oh so cozy bedrooms. Both bedrooms are furnished with a double bed and mosquito nets to keep those buzzing neighbours at bay. A separate guest loo and basin is always a convenience. Up in the loft area, you will find a spacious room where you may stash the kids on rainy days to play games. The loft is furnished with two single beds as well a small T.V ideal for the young ones should you wish to bring along a playstation or xbox. All in all, you may sleep six guests, ideally only 4 guests as the unit only has 1 bathroom. Come and enjoy some quiet time.... other than the occasional lion roar, hippo grunt and bushbaby cries.

Ground Hornbill

22/09/2024

The ground hornbill is a remarkable bird found exclusively within the African continent. The Southern ground hornbill is particularly captivating, with its distinctive black plumage, vibrant red wattle, and striking yellow eye. These birds are remarkably long-lived, with lifespans typically ranging from 50 to 60 years. Perhaps one of the most remarkable traits of the Southern ground hornbill, however, is its resonant call that can carry for distances up to 4 kilometers.

Our special guests were treated to a truly remarkable experience on the banks of the Crocodile River. The guests were ushered to their candlelit table, set amidst the bushveld. Upon arrival, they were greeted with an array of South African delicacies - the savory flavors of biltong, drywors and roasted nuts, all perfectly complemented by the crisp bubbles of a chilled bottle of champagne.

They were served a mouth-watering traditional Kudu potjie - a true taste of the local cuisine. And for dessert, an exquisite mousse. The highlight came, when in the distance, the shapes of towering elephants emerged, drawn to the edge of the riverbank, as if to join in the celebration. One majestic beasts provided a captivating performance for the awestruck diners, a truly unforgettable addition to an already spectacular bush dinner experience.

A new queen arises

A queen has fallen

The nyala dance is a truly mesmerizing display of dominance. This lateral display begins with the two male nyalas circling one another, their gazes intently fixed on the ground as they meticulously size up their rival. With their eyes locked in an unwavering stare, the males will deliberately fluff up their tails, causing the distinctive white manes along their backs to stand on end. This strategic posturing is an attempt to make themselves appear as large and imposing as possible, an intimidation tactic designed to cow the other into submission. The two will then slowly step around each other, their movements measured and cautious, each one trying to gain the upper hand through sheer dominance. The victor of this peculiar dance will earn the right to mate with the nearby female, should she deem him worthy. Meanwhile, the defeated male will slink away in defeat, his pride wounded, and resume his solitary foraging, resigned to the fact that he has lost his chance to pass on his genes.

Kruger Kumba offers a unique package that combines a bush breakfast with a game drive, perfect for you and your loved ones. For more details, please contact us.

One of our staff members captured this spider carefully weaving its intricate web. These incredible arachnids are masters of their craft, utilizing a remarkable combination of instinct, dexterity, and precision to construct their delicate architectural wonders. Each thread is spun with intentionality, the spider pausing at intervals to deposit tiny droplets of sticky adhesive that will ensnare unsuspecting prey. It's a humbling reminder of the incredible engineering feats that occur all around us in the natural world. This spider's web-weaving is a captivating display of innate artistry, a true masterpiece crafted by one of nature's most skilled architects.

What are we looking at here? We stumbled upon a curious sight - a hyena had discovered the remnants of a recent kill. The identity of the animal that had fallen victim to this scavenger's opportunistic feast was unclear. Without more obvious distinguishing characteristics, the original identity of the hyena's find would remain a mystery, lost to the efficiency of this skilled and opportunistic hunter. But the dramatic scene provided a glimpse into the ruthless, unyielding cycle of life and death that plays out daily across the Kruger.

Nestled along the southernmost border of the renowned Kruger National Park, Marloth Park stands as an enchanting gateway to one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife havens. Perched on the banks of the Crocodile River, this unique wildlife sanctuary serves as a buffer zone between the untamed wilderness of Kruger and the surrounding human settlements. A mere fence, often little more than an unassuming line in the sand, is all that separates the lush, game-rich landscapes of Kruger from the more tranquil environs of Marloth Park. Yet this subtle boundary belies the vastly different experiences that each side has to offer. Within Kruger, visitors are immersed in the primal rhythm of nature, coming face-to-face with the iconic Big Five and a dizzying array of other wildlife. In contrast, Marloth Park provides a more intimate, leisurely encounter with the bush, allowing travelers to observe animal activity at a more relaxed pace, while still enjoying the privilege of being in such close proximity to one of Africa's greatest natural treasures. This unique positioning, straddling the threshold between civilization and wilderness, has imbued Marloth Park with a captivating allure, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the best of both worlds - the untamed majesty of Kruger and the serene comforts of a more tamed, yet no less enchanting, corner of the African savanna.

The majestic kudu is a sight to behold at the Lahlekile Nathi, where these magnificent antelope can often be spotted roaming the lush bush. Kudus are known for their impressive spiral-shaped horns, which can grow up to nearly 1,8 meters in length on the males, making them one of the most distinctive and recognizable of Africa's many antelope species.
