Marataba Safari Lodge

Marataba is a privately managed section of the malaria-free Marakele National Park. Its wildlife includes the Big Five and abundant bird species, including the largest colony of endangered Cape vultures in the world.

Marataba Safari Lodge is for the active family safari. The fifteen Luxury Tents (including four Family Luxury Tents) bring you closer to nature without having to rough it. The stone and canvas abodes each have a king-sized bed, en-suite, outdoor shower, and shaded viewing deck, while the Family Luxury Tents give children their own bedroom and bathroom. A guest pool is located next to the main lodge area. Between the hours spent on safari, guests can relax at the pool, enjoy an in-room spa treatment, or simply choose to take it all in.

Mack & Madi Kids’ Adventure Safari Club at Safari Lodge offers a wide variety of activities on site with a dedicated coordinator and an ecogarden play area. Family game drives for the young ones include bush orientation, basic bush survival course, animal ‘spoor’ identification and mould making, identifying the stars from the eco garden, and more. Family safari drives for children under 6 are offered after the usual morning game drive.
