Overview of Marataba Safari Lodge
Marataba is situated in the Marakele National Park – a private concession offering excellent Big 5 viewing in a totally malaria-free area of Limpopo – making this the perfect destination for a family-friendly safari getaway. Inspired by the discovery of ancient ruins, the lodge has been constructed from stone, with large glass windows that let the natural light in and provide beautiful views of the surrounding area.
Cool off in the sparkling swimming pool or enjoy a refreshing cocktail in the bar while you admire the view. Relax in the lounge and read a book from the library or take in the spectacular view from The Wallow. The area offers excellent Big 5 viewing as well as great bird viewing that can be enjoyed on morning and afternoon game drives or guided nature walks.
