Marataba Safari Lodge

Overview

Dramatic scenery and a magical location make this luxurious tented camp one of the most desirable holiday destinations in South Africa.

Situated on one of the ancient trade routes across the dark continent, it sits at the foot of the Waterberg Mountains and overlooks the vast spaces of the Marakele National Park. There are just 15 tented suites of serious luxury, each with its own private deck, stone bathroom and outdoor shower, and glorious views of the surrounding African bush.
