My husband and I have been living in South Africa for a couple of years and during this time we have been travelling throughout the country and also Botswana, Zimbawe and Namibia. We have stayed in many lodges, from the most luxurious ones to tents in the middle of the dessert and this is the most amazing one we have... More

We stayed at the Marataba Safari Lodge on the second part of our Honeymoon and this was definately the best part of our honeymoon and what we remember most from our trip. We drove from Johannesburg airport which was extremely safe and a really nice drive, especially when we arrived at the gates and had the opportunity to drive our... More

My wife and I had the opportunity to spend two nights at Marataba Safari Co. recently. Having heard and read the many positive reviews about this luxury game lodge here on Travel Advisor and other sites my expectations were very high.

Accommodation is stunning, loving d?cor and very comfortable. Outside shower was the best! The turn downs were done with such attention to detail and each guest receiving this will... More

We went to Marataba last month for the first part of our honeymoon and it was absolutely fantastic. We stayed for 6 nights which we felt was the perfect length of stay. It gave us the best possible chance to see as many animals and to enjoy everything else there is to offer. The lodge is absolutely beautiful, the service... More

beautiful surroundings made even more special by excellent food and service, good wine selection and wonderfully private rooms... one of the best priced lodges in south africa! More
