Description

Welcome to Marulani Bush Lodge
Where the wild welcomes you home.

Escape to a hidden gem where nature, comfort, and adventure come together. Just 45 km north of Pretoria, nestled in the heart of the Dinokeng Game Reserve, Marulani Bush Lodge offers a truly unique bushveld retreat that the whole family will love.

Our name, Marulani, is inspired by the many marula trees that flourish across the reserve — a favourite treat for the elephants who delight in feasting on their sweet, seasonal fruit. Here, under the shade of these iconic trees, the spirit of the bushveld comes alive.

Wake up to the gentle song of birds and the thrill of spotting lions, buffalo, rhinos — and even our beloved gentle giants — all from the comfort of your private patio. Each self-catering chalet is fully equipped and set among lush bushveld, offering both privacy and peace.

Family-Friendly & Wildly Fun

Little explorers will love our child-friendly game drives, and there is plenty of safe outdoor space to roam, play, and learn. Spend time at our amazing Adventure Zone, where they can ride their bikes, play on the jungle gym, run on the lush green lawn or splash in the pool. Whether it is tracking animal footprints, spotting birds, or simply enjoying the fresh air, it is an unforgettable, educational adventure.

Nights to Remember

As the sun dips below the horizon, gather around the fire to share stories, toast marshmallows, and take in the magic of the African night sky. The distant roar of lions and the call of jackals become the soundtrack to memories that last a lifetime.

Whether you are planning a family escape, a romantic retreat, or a nature-filled adventure, Marulani Bush Lodge is your perfect sanctuary — safe, serene, and full of wonder.

Come explore, unwind, and make lasting memories at Marulani Bush Lodge — where elephants feast on marulas, and every sunset is a story waiting to be told.
