Marataba, South Africa
Saturated with the sights, sounds and smells of the African wilderness, indulge in the supreme luxury of our exotic tented suites, an intriguing mix of canvas and stone, exquisitely furnished and decorated.
En-suite stone bathrooms with both shower and bath as well as his and hers basins and dressing room are the epitome of bushveld opulence. The 12 suites each have their own private deck overlooking the sweeping plains and meandering river below. Other facilities include an outside shower, ceiling fan and in-house communication.
Evocative of ancient African remains, stone-masonry characterises the main lodge with huge expanses of glass taking full advantage of the spectacular panoramic scenery. Admire the view while enjoying a cocktail in the Ladies Bar or simply relax in one of the lodge's sumptuous lounges with a book from our library, housed within the stone tower offering a birds-eye view of the breathtaking surroundings.
Gourmet cuisine with fresh African flavours is served either in the elegantly appointed dining room or outdoors on the dining verandah or, alternatively, under a glorious African sky in the boma. And, as temperatures rise in Limpopo, cool off in our crystal clear pool. The main lodge also boasts a Guest Business Centre for those guests who can't totally escape from the outside world.
The recommended check-in time at Marataba is around mid-day. Our superb luncheon is served between 12h30 and 14h00 and thereafter the opportunity to indulge - perhaps an afternoon siesta in your luxurious suite or lazing around the pool or simply absorbing the tranquil atmosphere of the African bush. High Tea is followed by an exhilarating Game Drive with an experienced guide, with time for a quiet cocktail on return to the Lodge before being seated for dinner between seven-thirty and eight.
Fall asleep listening to the faraway sounds of the African night - the distant roar of a lion, the trumpet of an elephant, the grunt of a hippo ... Guests receive a discreet wake-up call in time for breakfast and the morning game drive or walk, and so a new day's adventure begins. Day excursions to Marakele's Endangered Species Project can be arranged. |
