My husband and I stayed at Marataba at the beginning of November and had the experience of a lifetime. All the staff were amazing - nothing was too much trouble and they were all so cheerful and welcoming. I cannot speak highly enough of them. The food was delicious and plentiful(!) In the 3 days we spent there I must... more

Stayed for 3 nights in marataba in late sept, must say it was without doubt the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. it is a good distance from joburg but was definitely worth it. The surroundings are truly magical with mountains for a backdrop and you feel totally isolated and away from civilisation. The tents, lodges, service and food... more

We arrived at Marataba after dark and were welcomed by 2 handsome bull elephants on the side of the road, although we had been in SA for 10 days this was the first time we truely felt and knew we were in Africa. Marataba is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. The lodge and the rooms... more

We'd booked up may months ago and wondered if it really could live up to the excellent reputation in Trip Advisor: it can, and some!! A superb location, very quiet and so few other people around it really does get you close to the bush and the animals without bumping into anybody else. A stunning view from your tent that... more

I was on a business trip in Johannesburg and did not want to spend the weekend on my own in Johannesburg. Someone recommended the region and I just picked the lodge with the best ratings in trip advisor - which was Marataba. And it was really perfect! I stay in hotels a lot for business, and do lots of weekend... more

After a few hours road trip from Jo'burg, the doors of Marataba open themselves on an amazing landscape and your dreams turn to be true... A 30 min drive more across the bush on a bumpy way so natural and unique and you arrive at the camp... However, don't think this camp is not comfortable or too simple cause it's... more

We stayed at Marataba for 3 nights in February. The experience was unforgetable, the scenary is stunning and the range of environments within the 23 hectares of the park is very diverse,everything from mountains to rivers to plains and jungle. The tents( if you can call them that!) are absolutely divine,the height of rustic sophistication in the middle of the... more

As part of our honeymoon we stayed at Marataba for four nights and it was just amazing. We were lucky enough to see the big five, which was so exciting. The staff at Marataba made us feel so welcome and special. The lodge, the tents, the food were all perfect. If you want to stay in 5 star wilderness luxury... more

The lodge at Marataba is stunning and the food is amazing. The game is "ok". It is a little light compared to other game reserves, but what it lacks in game quantity, it makes up for in amazing views. The landscape at Marataba is amazing. The Waterberg mountain stretch along one entire boundary of the game reserve, making every photo... more

Amazing place and 1st class service and hospitality. The food is exquisite and the setting of the lodge is beautiful. I cannot think of a single criticism. The lodges themselves are private and extremely comfortable. The game is good but you do have to look hard for the animals as Marataba is 28,000 hectors in size and only about 60%... more
