RiverLodge at Marloth Park is built along the banks of the Crocodile River, near Kruger National Park, South Africa. This river forms the park’s southern boundary and provides a water resource for wildlife when it is scarce in winter.
Every month of the year has its appeal in this region, although the drier months of August and September are good for game-viewing when the animals are easier to see. The bushveld surrounding Crocodile River, Kruger National Park, South Africa at this time is very dry.
The rains break usually in October or November which transforms this wilderness into a verdant jungle within a few weeks. Animals tend to disperse and many species no longer rely on waterholes and other resources, but there is an upsurge of migrant bird species and insect life. The rainy season peaks in December, January and February and then tails off in March and April.
