Marataba Safari Lodge is located in Marakele National Park, which, thanks to its position between the dry western and more humid eastern ecological zones, boasts a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, numerous bird species, and the world’s largest colony of endangered Cape vultures.

The lodge features 15 luxury tents and 4 family suites, each designed for maximum comfort. Spacious double beds, stylish bathrooms, and outdoor showers offer a sense of cosiness while staying connected to nature. From your private terrace, you can watch animals roaming freely.

Special family suites include a cosy children’s bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, bunk beds, toys, snug robes, and slippers. Meanwhile, the spacious main bedroom offers parents a perfect blend of comfort and privacy.

One of the highlights is a river cruise on the Matlabas River aboard the Miss Mara boat. Whether in the morning or at sunset, you can spot hippos, elephants, graceful birds, and other wildlife. Enjoy cool drinks as you listen to fascinating tales from your guide about the river’s ecosystem.

For young explorers, the lodge offers the Safari Club Eco Garden, a paradise for children aged 5 to 11. Here, kids can learn to track animals, set up tents, watch films under the stars, and, of course, make new friends.

While children enjoy their activities, parents can indulge in complete relaxation. The pool, massages, facials, and body wraps with natural oils are available in your tent.

For a truly special evening, consider spending the night in the Thabametsi Treehouse. With breathtaking panoramic views of the Waterberg plains, it is the perfect setting for a romantic retreat.

To take a piece of this adventure home, guests can print their favourite photos on canvas or create an exclusive photo album in the creative studio. An experienced consultant will guide you on taking perfect shots and offer camera rentals.

Marataba Safari Lodge is an opportunity to connect with nature, experience the grandeur of the savannah, and enjoy unparalleled comfort!
