Where the wild welcomes you home.
45km north of Pretoria, in the heart of the Dinokeng Game Reserve.
Escape to a Hidden Gem
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.
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.
