A remote outpost in the lap of mountains, this is a place to unwind or find adventure with loved ones, good friends or on your own. Between the hours spent out on safari, the lodge offers a home-from-home to lie by the pool, enjoy a spa treatment, or simply choose your perfect spot to absorb the surroundings. Trust us, you’ll want to take this all in.
Suites
Glamping in one of Safari Lodges 15 luxury Tented Suites brings you closer to nature, without trading comfort for the experience. You might spot a passing elephant or giraffe right from your deck!
The lodge is a simple extension of the natural safari environment beyond its walls – natural, rich, and bold. If you sit quietly for long enough, you can feel the energy of the countless people who have made this place home for aeons. And while Safari Lodge’s stone and canvas Suites may look ‘down to earth’, they are anything but basic, with all the modern features included.
Dining
Dining, as much a part of your experience as the family safari itself, brings you the culinary Big Five: Safari stops, Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon tea and Dinner. Their chefs give contemporary dishes a local twist to give you a memorable taste of this place. Paired with premium Cape wines, dining becomes its own discovery.
There’s something to be said for the setting too, with every seat the best in (and out of) the house. No matter your dietary preference or restriction, They’ll design your dishes around you.
Safari
With only four lodges & camps on this privately managed conservancy of 21 000 ha (51 890ac), guests are assured of a very personal safari experience. You’ll get within close range of Africa’s most impressive species. Viewing (and photo) opportunities are priceless!
Marataba is a wonderland for anyone with a love of nature, history, and culture. It forms a private section of the Marakele Contractual National Park – Place of Sanctuary in local Setswana – which protects abundant wildlife, as well as San rock art and Iron Age sites of great significance.
Finding yourself in one of Southern Africa’s great wildernesses, the safari possibilities are as endless as the horizon itself. Game viewing here is particularly impressive due to the overlapping of habitats in a transition zone. Encounter the Big Five, including Maratab’s signature species, the black rhino. Observe elephants by the waterways, the rare brown hyena and aardwolf as well as the critically endangered pangolin.
