The lodge is truly exclusive, featuring only 5 rooms. Eco-friendly and fully powered by solar energy, it seamlessly blends into the surrounding environment, becoming a part of the breathtaking landscape.

Minimalist architecture and Scandinavian design – from the sleek wooden furniture to the natural colour palette – create an atmosphere of understated luxury, inspired by the surrounding wilderness.

Each of the 5 luxury rooms offers a cosy yet refined interior and stunning views of the Waterfall Valley. The rooms feature a king-size bed, a personal minibar, a coffee machine, a wood-burning fireplace, a rain shower, and a shaded viewing deck.

In the main lodge building, Marataba Mountain Lodge offers various spaces to unwind: relax in the dining area and lounge, sit on the expansive viewing deck, or gather around the firepit in the evening to stargaze. Guests can also enjoy a swim in the pool, which appears to merge seamlessly with the Waterfall Valley, offering incredible views of the plains and mountain ranges. Here, far from the hustle and bustle, you will feel truly immersed in nature and enjoy an unparalleled safari experience.

You will be provided with a safari vehicle and a certified FGASA guide who will share fascinating insights about the wildlife. For a more intimate connection with nature, the lodge offers guided bush walks, allowing you to observe plants that might go unnoticed during game drives, listen to the sounds of birds, and track animal footprints up close.

The food is exceptional: dishes are crafted from local ingredients, blending traditional flavours with an exotic twist. Meals can be enjoyed in a variety of settings, from a quick snack during a safari to a beautifully set table with mountain views.

For a truly special experience, spend a night at the solar-powered Thabametsi Treehouse. This luxurious, private retreat features a shower, bedroom, living area, and viewing decks where you can savour the best views of the Waterberg and Marakele National Park.

The lodge is also an ideal venue for any celebration, from private parties to weddings. A safari-style event amidst the savannah will create unforgettable memories!
