Get a real taste of Africa in a mystical place at the foot of the Waterberg Mountains on the ancient trade route through southern Africa, called Marataba Safari Company.

The luxurious Marataba Safari Company reflects Africa's ancient wisdom and culture, the glorious forms and colour presenting a vibrant haven at the epicentre of modern design. Evocative of ancient African remains, stone-masonry characterises the main lodge with huge expanses of glass taking full advantage of the spectacular panoramic scenery. You can admire this view while enjoying a cocktail in the Ladies' Bar or simply relaxing in one of the lounges with a book from the library, housed within the stone tower that offers a bird's-eye view of the incredible surroundings. The twelve tented suites each has its own private deck overlooking the sweeping plains and meandering river below. Other facilities include an outside shower, ceiling fan and in-house communication. The en-suite stone bathrooms with its dressing room are the epitome of bushveld opulence. Gourmet cuisine with fresh African flavours is served either in the elegantly appointed dining room, outdoors on the dining veranda, or in the boma. The main lodge has a Guest Business Centre.

The Marataba Safari Company's twenty three thousand-hectare concession lies in the eastern sector of the Marakele National Park, at the foot of the Waterberg Mountains, on the ancient trade route through southern Africa, from the mighty tower of Great Zimbabwe, across the Limpopo River and past sweeping plains teeming with game. It's approximately three hours' drive north of Johannesburg in western Limpopo, and Thabazimbi, Rustenburg and Ellisras are all within easy reach.
