About Marataba Safari Lodge

The essence of our very special Mountain Lodge is in its location – secluded within the Waterberg mountain range – offering true exclusivity. This is a lodge in harmony with nature, fully solar-powered, and with a Scandi-style architectural simplicity that seamlessly blends it into the environment.

Your Eco Suite (one of just five) is simple and sophisticated. Even its design elements, from stripped-back wood furnishings to the stone colour palette, have taken their cue from nature.

The main lodge provides more social spaces to unwind, which open onto a setting renowned for its mesmerising scenery and flourishing wildlife.

You'll find an open-plan dining and lounge area, expansive viewing deck, firepit lounge hosting nighttime gatherings under the stars, and an infinity Rock Pool that seems to skim off into Waterfall Valley below.
