About Marataba Safari Lodge
When we discovered Marataba, we instantly knew we had found something very special. A 21 000ha piece of unspoilt Africa within Marakele National Park (Setswana for 'place of sanctuary'), it is unlike anything we have ever seen. With spectacular landscapes and iconic wildlife, this place holds its own among South Africa’s greatest reserves.
Within this vast wilderness, Marataba Safari Lodge is one of just two luxury lodges offering small group, exclusive safaris. For a one-on-one, private African safari, you truly don’t get better than this.

Accommodation Options
Luxury Tent
Each of the 11 canvas-and-stone Tented Suites is tastefully furnished and decorated with a contemporary twist. Whether sharing it with lover, friend or family (or keeping it all to yourself), the interior is ample, and the attention to detail impeccable.
Each Tented Suite is approximately 45m2 and has a private deck, a double bed (convertible to twins), air conditioning, open-plan bathroom en-suite, outdoor shower, in-room safe, mini bar, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and a range of deluxe amenities.
Luxury Family Tent
Each of the four luxury tents is ideal for a family safari stay and includes a second children’s bunk-bed room kitted out just for them and with its own en-suite (including a shower). This section is separated from the main bedroom, giving parents (and kids) their own space. These tents are not on stilts to ensure the safety of our young guests.
Marataba Residence
Nestled alongside the tranquil Matlabas River in Marataba, this exclusive-use Residence offers sweeping vistas of the landscape and its majestic mountains. This is a family nature retreat where you set your own safari agenda, spend leisurely afternoons observing wildlife along the riverbank, enjoy sundowners and memorable alfresco dinners. You have four separate Luxury Tents for ultimate privacy with a main area that includes a lounge, dining area, kitchen, an open bar, a welcoming fireplace, a boma facility, and a pool. Your residence butler takes care of the details, and your personal chef arranges gourmet meals, and everything in-between. With everything taken care of you can relax and enjoy all the wonders of a safari at Marataba.
