Mystical Marataba

Just amazing.

Nestled beneath the imposing rock structures of the Waterberg mountains lies an incredible fusion of modern architecture and amenities with the vastness of ancient African tradition surrounding it on all sides. Welcome, to Marataba Safari Co, one of those venues which just about defines The Heavenly Bush which South Africa is so famous for serving up to visitors of all nationalities.

The Lodge itself simply drips splendour, featuring an open architecture which invites the nature in from every possible angle while never losing its pristine, ordered demeanour. Outside perfect, clipped lawns border the tangle that is raw African bushveld for a contrast so stark it’s sure to take your breath away.

Comfortable couches scattered about the warm halls invite guests to linger for a while, gazing out over the wild plains to the flat-topped mountains in the middle distance while partaking of some delightful snack or drink of their choosing, or even chatting idly to the proprietors of this magical venue about the region and its history, subjects on which they are commendably well-versed.

A stroll through the gardens is like a bush walk without the hassles of avoiding errant and potentially sharp foliage or detritus on the unkempt trail.

Your feet might be caressing nothing more violent than perfectly-trimmed, luscious grass, but your eyes get to take in the glory of nature unmolested starting precisely where the invisibly-defined boundary lines of the Lodge lie.
