Marataba

Original Tented Luxury at the Foot of the Waterburg

The experience at the Marataba Safari Camp is one that manages to expertly bring together the romance of outdoor living and the thrill of wild exploration with the luxury standards of today by blending more contemporary designs with the antiquated tented safari adventure.

The camp’s enviable spot in the Waterburg’s Marakele National Park and at the foot of its majestic copper-flushed mountains surrounded by flourishing bushveld is well worth a mention too. Its fifteen tented suites are swathed in soft awnings, fine furnishings, luxury linens and with bathrooms that have deep stone carved bath tubs as well as indoor and outdoor showers.

The main lodge has a more contemporary take on the open-plan style of safari living with its lounges and dining room decorated with more modern fittings, yet the overall effect is still very African.
