Foxy Crocodile Bush Retreat has all the ingredients for the best luxury romantic escape ever... sunshine, safaris, starlight, superb food. It's hard to encapsulate the experience in words, but the real proof is in guests returning from around the globe as often as possible. Located on the banks of the world-famous Kruger National Park's Crocodile River, our luxury units offer an unrivalled immersion in the peace and beauty of the wild, without compromise on luxury. So what can you expect from your stay? Aside from the beauty of our location, and beautifully appointed luxury accommodation, our guests tell us that they love the privacy and tranquillity. Guests have their own private pools, and bomas where you can elect to have a mouth-watering traditional meal specially prepared for you over a wood fire under a canopy of dazzling stars. It's a very special experience, and for some, the wild symphony of the night, featuring lion calls and hyena cackles, is unforgettable. For those choosing to stay home and relax in their private leisure areas, continental breakfasts are available. However, our guided luxury safaris in neighbouring Kruger Park are not-to-be-missed! A safari in the great Kruger is a dream for many people, and we have gone to great lengths to make the experience exceptional. Our luxury open safari vehicles have many thoughtful extras and conveniences, that include heated seats for chilly mornings, charging ports to keep your devices fresh and ready to capture your exciting sightings. We also have wifi on board (where comms permit), and extra perks for avid photographers. With a focus on quality over quantity, we have configured our vehicles to offer more space, comfort and luxury to fewer guests. Our professional guides bring their knowledge and expertise to every safari, to help you discover the fascinating intricacies of the wild.

My wife and I spent a weekend at Foxy, redefining a perfect bush and accommodation experience. Awesome establishment, awesome hosts, awesome staff and awesome bush experience. Loved every minute. I can highly recommend Foxy Crocodile. Loved all the game and overlooking the Crocodile river with plenty of wild life around our room. Loved the breakfast on our stoep with animals all round and amazing bird life keeping us company.

This is the fourth time we have stayed at Foxy Crocodile Bush Retreat in Marloth Park and we will return again. A beautiful location where the animals roam in the immediate vicinity. It consists of 5 detached apartments, 3 of which have a view of the Crocodile River and the Kruger Park. The hospitality provides a feeling of coming home. Mark, Gail and the staff will do everything they can to please their guests. The various apartments where we stayed are equipped with every luxury; air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, bath, indoor and outdoor shower, splash pool and braai area. If desired, you can opt for breakfast, which can be served in your own apartment or can be included as a travelpackage for during the safari. Lunch and dinner can also be served in your own apartment. Sometimes the meat is prepared at our own braai place. The great thing about the location is that it is a 15-minute drive to Crocodile Bridge Gate, to enter the Kruger Park. You can visit Kruger Park with your own car or with Mark in a safaricar, which has the advantage that you do not have to drive yourself, you sit higher for a better view and Mark knows how to find the places as an experienced ranger. In summary, a top location to stay, relax, enjoy the great (night) sounds and views of the animals and do safaris from there.

Stayed 6 days at Foxy & enjoyed every minute of it there..waking up to warthogs snuffling around for food and then a family of mongoose running by & that was before breakfast. Karla was our main contact and she was on call whenever we needed anything. We opted for breakfast and some dinners and they were delicious and ample for 2. We booked a morning safari drive in Kruger with Gail (owner) and Ingrid was our knowledgeable guide. Saw some amazing sights and brought home what nature is all about.. There are plenty of restaurants around the area and we tried a few. Very good food in the ones we tried and there is a small food store etc only a couple of kilometres from Foxy just adjacent to a restaurant called The Tin Shack…Karla called us out on the day we were leaving to see a male lion on the other side of the river..fantastic animal and topped of our stay..hope to return to the area again in the future.thanks to Gail, Karla & Ingrid..

Wow wow wow !! What an amazing experience . My Husband and I went for a 5 night stay 2 days after our wedding for our honeymoon . Where do we begin , the accommodation is exceptionally clean , traditional and out of this world set just off the river with a great view with such incredible animals in sight . Mark and Gail are the most amazing hosts from collecting us from the airport to daily safri trips and organising us a sight seeing experience! We truly felt so welcome and part of their family . Both of their knowledge and passion for the African bush gave our experience such a special touch. One of the days we were taken out by Ingrid who works for Gail and mark as a guide and she was awsome again such passion and knowledge of the animals and the bush . The staff at the resort are beyond helpful and kind nothing was to much trouble, the food each day was the best we both have ever eaten, both of us have eaten in some of the best restaurants in England and the food we were presented with daily was out of this world! Traditional, fresh and so tasty . Having booked through a great mutual friend of ours made our trip so unique from the personalised gift when we arrived and the decoration on our dinner plates . We have had the best stay and no where will ever be able to beat this experience, we saw such a range of animals and with marks knowledge and experience of being in the bush we had the best sightings . Overall this is a 10/10+++ and would recommend anyone who wishes to experience the real kruger park experience to go here!

What a fabulous lodge to get away to right on the banks of crocodile river with close access to crocodile bridge to Kruger. Mark and Gayle Fox and Kayla are incredible hosts and have ensured each suite is well appointed with all the comforts and delights to make your stay so special. Can’t wait to return soon.

I stayed there one night this time, but previously have stayed a week. Mark and Gail run the most welcoming lodge. The door even says your name on it! They are very close to Crocodile Bridge, so it was perfect for day drives in the Kruger. Looking forward to staying there again soon!

Wonderful way to be close to the Kruger National Park and still have a little bit of luxury when you return to your apartment. We are in the Safari Lodge that has just been finished. A beautiful simple apartment with a shower and a seat inside. Outside there is a lovely patio, a swimming pool and a braai. The patio can be closed off and even has a heater for the colder evenings. We have eaten the meals from Foxy himself. But there is kitchen, so meels can also made by yourself. Foxy also organizes Crocodile Bush Retreat Safaris. We have done day safaris with Foxy, but also the broken safaris can be booked here. A morning or an afternoon safari. For us this was the third time we were here and we will definitely come back again. Love this place..
