“Great family friendly safari lodge”
I’d highly recommend this safari lodge for families. This is the sixth safari lodge we’ve visited and it is one of our favourites and by far the best for kids. The food was good and the rooms were great - very clean and well kitted out. All the staff were friendly, professional and helpful. We ha… more

“Truly family-friendly with world-class animal experiences”
Believe all the reviews that laud Marataba's family-friendly safaris - our kids (ages 7 and 10), who can't sit still for a 20-minute car ride in California, happily sat for 6 hours of game drives a day (and got their energy out at the truly-fun kids club between drives). What's less-mentioned in t… more

“Wow - what a place!”
What an amazing place to enjoy our first ever safari. The scenery was breathtaking, our room was stunning, the staff couldn't do enough for you and the food and drink was delicious! We arrived to a warm welcome and a hot flannel to freshen up - this continued after we returned from every safari. … more

“Marataba never disappoints”
Our third visit, and Marataba does not disappoint. It is one of the most beautiful reserves in SA, game viewing is great ( we saw pangolin and leopard!) and service is exceptional. Game drives are never crowded with only a few game drive vehicles in the reserve. Pick mountain lodge for exclusivity,… more

“Amazing - definitely not the last visit!”
I was lucky enough to be able to revisit this lodge after a weather challenging January. I was keen to see what is undoubtedly the most beautiful reserve I have visited at its best. As expected the lodge was once again superb, beautiful rooms (it seems a cheat to call them tents), amazing food, a… more
