Kruger Park Hostel

Kruger Park Hostel shows a clear disregard for conservation rules and the social responsibility of being in a residential and conservation area. They host loud karaoke at night, disturbing wildlife and the surrounding neighbours. They also encourage guests to hand-feed wild animals—an unsafe and illegal practice. Their pool area is surrounded by alien and invasive plants that harm the local ecosystem. Such behavior threatens the protected environment, is detrimental to the wild animals that roam our conservation area and seriously disturbs the peaceful quiet nature of Marloth Park. The owners display selfish behaviour believing they have the right to make inappropriate noise in a wildlife area. Karaoke does not fit in Marloth Park. Visitors seeking a respectful conservation experience should avoid this hostel - the hostel flagrantly disrespects neighbours and conservation principles.

Stayed here for 5 nights with my partner and can't even begin to describe the experience. It is wholesome, budget and so much fun! The meals were perfect. They also are so helpful to organise activities, massive shout out to Robert who does the game drives into Kruger, such a fantastic and intelligent guide, helped us find the big 5 in just 2 game drives! The hostel itself is beautiful, the property is gorgeous. You will wake up to have a coffee outside with the animals by the pool! We even were able to feed the animals, Zebras, Kudu, Warthog! One night while having a beer waiting for our delicious dinner we were rushed into the safari car to search for a Lion who was nearby who we could hear roaring just by the fence, such a fun experience and we did spot his eyes. They also would take us for sunset walks and dinners which were also just fantastic. A massive thank you to everyone at the hostel for a wonderful stay!

Go for it! This place is great, dynamite really. Close enough to Kruger, great and knowledgeable and energetic hosts, know so much about the birds and animals, and lots else, a cool international vibe, and more fun than I've had traveling in a long time

C'est un hostel super familial. On y mange tous ensemble pour raconter notre journée autour d’un repas. Des le premier jour je me suis senti super bien, les hôtes sont super sympa. Les volontaires qui travaillent sur place sont accueillant et professionnels, je recommande à 100%. Jérôme

Um ótimo lugar para conhecer pessoas e aprender sobre a cultura Sul Africana. Os tours são perfeitos, lugares lindos para conhecer, e os guias conhecem bastante da região e dos animais, então é sempre um aprendizado cada passeio e experiência com eles. O hostel é um lugar agradável, com uma vibe acolhedora, a melhor parte é poder estar na piscina alimentando os animais é uma das melhores experiências! Já estive duas vezes com eles, e com certeza irei novamente!
