About Us

A Family Home
in the Wild

At Dumela Afrika, we're passionate about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. We're a family-run property, genuinely excited to share our little piece of paradise with you.


Set in the unique wildlife conservancy of Marloth Park, on the border of Kruger National Park, this is a place where impala graze in the garden, hornbills argue in the trees, and the only noise after dark is the African night doing its thing.

"Our goal is to provide a tranquil and relaxing environment, where you can unwind, recharge, and connect with nature."

Marloth Park

A Conservancy
Like No Other

Marloth Park is unlike anywhere else in South Africa. A holiday conservancy where no fences separate you from the wild; impala, warthog, kudu, zebra, giraffe, and extraordinary birdlife move freely through the entire estate. It's not a game reserve you visit. It's a living, breathing bush community you become part of.

🐒
Wildlife in the GardenKeep doors and windows locked at all times. Baboons & monkeys can open doors and windows and are dangerous. Only feed animals using approved game pellets from the local stores. If you crush bananas before dusk and place them on the feeders you may be lucky and get a surprise visit from the bushbabies!
🌙
After DarkNo walking or cycling after 6pm. Predators from adjacent Kruger occasionally enter the conservancy.
🦟
Malaria AreaMarloth Park is a malaria zone. Mosquito repellent is strongly recommended throughout your stay.
🔇
Quiet ConservancyNo loud music at any time. Noise disturbs wildlife and neighbours. Strictly enforced after 6pm.

"Diamond in the wild"
"A hidden gem with a thoughtful owner. The kitchen is a dream for a self-catering place — spices, braai charcoal, even baking stuff were there. Bedrooms super cool with working aircons and a fan too. She even put in insect repellents. The patio and pool — we stayed out every day until late, enjoying the coolness at the end of the day. You get a lot more than you are paying for, even the little one enjoyed himself with all the animals coming to the house."
