Marataba Safari Lodge
Set amongst thick acacia bushveld overlooking a waterhole, with a stream running through camp is the Marataba Safari Company’s exquisite luxury tented camp. Marataba is situated in a very productive (for game viewing) 23,000 hectare private concession within the Marakele National Park - one of the newer National Parks in South Africa. The main lodge boasts a brilliant architectural design bringing together 5 Star decadence and rustic historical charm. Fifteen tented suites look on to an awe inspiring Waterberg cliff face, glowing red during the daylight hours. Each suite has ample space, a simple yet elegant layout and offers the guest perfect seclusion and privacy - the lodge is a romantic utopia. The dining is a delightful experience where meals are alternated between a formal style (where an a la carte menu is offered) and informal where platters and buffets are provided. The staff are thoroughly efficient, friendly and go out of their way to provide you with superb service.
