Nestled in the secluded Waterberg, surrounded by the magnificent Marakele National Park, Marataba Mountain Lodge embodies the essence of peace and space. This solar-powered, Scandi-style lodge seamlessly merges with its environment, making it a haven for those seeking tranquility and a deep connection with nature.

With just five private Eco Suites, Marataba Mountain Lodge offers an exclusive experience, accommodating only 10 guests at a time. Each suite opens onto a world of its own, renowned for breathtaking scenery and flourishing wildlife. The main lodge provides inviting social spaces, including a shared Rock Pool that appears to skim off into the Waterfall Valley below, offering a serene spot for relaxation.

As one of only two luxury lodges in the 21,000-hectare, malaria-free Marakele National Park, Marataba Mountain Lodge feels like a privileged perch from which to take in one of South Africa’s most spectacularly beautiful places. Here, guests can encounter the Big Five, including the rare and endangered black rhino, and abundant birdlife, featuring the world’s largest colony of endangered Cape vultures.

Marataba Mountain Lodge offers exclusive safaris that promise intimate and awe-inspiring wildlife encounters. Guests can enjoy twice-daily game drives, after-breakfast bush walks, and specialist Marataba Trails. For a unique experience, cruise into the late afternoon with a sundowner on the Miss Mara Water Safari.

Marataba Mountain Lodge is more than just a luxurious retreat—it's an invitation to immerse oneself in the beauty and wonder of the African wilderness. With its perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and exclusivity, this lodge offers a sanctuary where guests can create lasting memories in harmony with nature.
