Maroela

Maroela is for campers only and no day visitors are allows into the camp. There is no shop, cafeteria or restaurant; you'd have to drive to Orpen for shopping or fuel. As a result, Maroela has a very tranquil atmosphere. The campsite is located on the bank of the Timbavati River, which attracts great numbers of wildlife. There's electricity in camp and one small ablution block, a kitchenette and two communal freezers.

Vervet monkeys are known to cause trouble in Maroela, so do remember to put away your food and valuables when you go out on a game drive.

3 must-drive roads:

H7 for Big 5 sightings
S39 south for scenery
S126 for lions and elephants

Look for these animals:

Cheetahs are often found on the H7 – sometimes close to Orpen, but more often near the cross with the S36 and S39 south.

Black backed jackals are often found on the H7 near Orpen gate; look for them in the open areas.

Buffaloes and elephants can be seen in the Timbavati riverbed along the H7.

Keep your eyes open for serval on the S106. They prefer tall grass and are seen early mornings or at night.
