Accommodation Type: Game Lodge
Area: Mpumalanga

Bushwise Safaris combines upmarket luxury accommodation with the real Safari experience. From our Safari Lodge base on the banks of the Crocodile River (overlooking Kruger National Park), we take guests into Kruger in our open safari-vehicle for a personalized safari, not only to seek out the Big Five but to look at all the wonders of this unique eco-system.

Bushwise Safari lodge is owner run , situated in Marloth Park over looking the Crocodile river and the famous Kruger National Park. We operate in the South East of Kruger which is well known for its renowned game viewing with frequent sightings of lion and leopards.

The Lodge itself is luxurious double storey under thatch with A/C en-suite guest bedrooms. We remain small in order to give our guests personal attention. The Upper deck and bar area overlooks Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River where one often sees a variety of wildlife drinking at the waters edge. For bird enthusiasts the opportunities are endless!

Bushwise Safaris takes pride in serving exceptional African dinners served in a boma around a campfire under the African night sky. Virtually every night you hear the roar of lions, calls of hyena and the grunting of hippo from Kruger National Park.

The Kruger National Park is one of the most unspoilt natural eco-systems left in Southern Africa. It is always exciting to view the Big Five... elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo (which incidentally got this title as the five most dangerous species to hunt). But, don't overlook the other Big Five... giraffe, hippo, cheetah, wild dog and hyena, which make up our Big Ten!

This wildlife area is home to some 33 species of amphibian, 115 species of reptile and 140 species of mammal, including all the big game species that were nearly wiped out by the hunters of the nineteenth century.
