Marataba is different from other safari lodges. First there are only two lodges in the whole park which means no crowds. Game drives where incredible with Big 5 viewings, but specially one of the 5 (won't Say for conservation issues) is everywhere. The mounitain and the view just makes this place magic. Staff Will do everything in their power to make You feel like Home.

Marataba is amazing! A truly unforgettable safari experience with amazing views you wont get elsewhere. The best part of our trip was our guide, JJ. He was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the Bush from him! Thank you Marataba and especially JJ for the best safari ever!
