Marataba Safari Lodge

Marataba is a vast private concession within the Marakele National Park in South Africa’s Limpopo Province.

Hidden here, at the foot of the Waterberg Mountains and among the trees and shrubs of the bushveld, Marataba Safari Lodge consists of 15 tented suites built from canvas and stone. Each has its own private deck, and opulent features including king-size beds, free-standing stone baths, and indoor and outdoor showers. The main lodge has a large lounge with an open fireplace, a library, and outside spaces for eating, drinking, reading or taking in the view. Exposed brickwork and clever lighting make for a dramatic setting inside and out, by day or night.

Eat in the sophisticated surrounds of the dining room, or at one of the private outdoor hideaway spots. Lounge around the large swimming pool, or rock away the hours in a hammock.

Wildlife here is diverse and abundant. You’ll find all of the larger game species, and spectacularly rich birdlife too. Two game drives a day are included in your stay.
