    Anton, the house keeper is a star. He went through everything, ensured we had pellets for the animals. He came in every day to clean, wash dishes & make the beds. The general outlay with the pool & braai were excellent.

Welcome to Giraffe plains It is a self-catering house located in Marloth park Nature reserve. Enjoy the comfort of this thatched, cozy and well equipped, self-catering accommodation set in the tranquil surroundings of the African bushveld. Marloth Park is situated on the southern border of the Krugerpark, separated only by the Crocodile River. There are no fences, so the wild animals roam freely. Residents and visitors to Marloth Park are requested to respect this unique situation where wild animals and humans co-exist together in harmony. Nowhere else can you sit on your patio with a glass of south African wine, enjoying the impala, kudu, zebra and giraffe that roam in front of the house.
I'm Roy, the owner of the house and living in the Austrian Alps. I would love to host you to my second home and show you the real african bush. My housekeeper Anton will try to make your vacation unforgettable.
