A safari lodge in Marloth Park, near the Kruger

The lounge sits at the centre of the lodge, with deep seating, natural textures and a bar that opens onto the shared verandahs.

It is somewhere to settle after a safari with a cold drink and watch the Grand Prix or a rugby match before following the shade outside as the day cools. Drinks from our full-service bar are a paid add-on.

Breakfast is included in every stay. It is cooked to order, with buffet and à la carte options, including vegan and gluten-free choices. A lunch spread of fresh bread, charcuterie, cheese, olive oils and more can be added on any day.

Dinner is available by advance arrangement and charged separately, so you can dine in on the evenings that suit your plans. Bush braais and firepit evenings can be arranged, weather and wind allowing. Let us know about dietary needs before you arrive; we cannot currently provide certified Kosher or Halaal catering.

The pool sits in the courtyard at the centre of the lodge, surrounded by loungers, mature trees and shaded corners for a book, a drink or nothing planned at all. Upper and lower decks give everyone room to spread out over just over 7,000m² of garden.

Because Leriti sits within Marloth Park, the garden never feels separate from the bush. Birdlife is constant, smaller animals move through the property and larger wildlife may pass nearby. The wildlife is not somewhere you visit and then leave behind. It remains around you.

L’abri at Leriti is the full-service spa at Leriti Safari House, in its own building away from the guest rooms. Massages and full body treatments from L’abri at Leriti can be booked in advance around safaris, meals and quiet afternoons, subject to availability.

Treatments are charged separately and paid to the spa, unless your package includes them. The spa also welcomes day visitors, and its separate building keeps the lodge private for resident guests.
