Take a Closer Look
Glide down the winding Matlabas River aboard the charming Miss Mara flat-bottomed boat. Whether in the morning or at sunset, you’ll encounter a variety of wildlife, from hippos in the river to foraging elephants at the water’s edge, along with a myriad of bird species. Relax with a cool beverage and snack as your field guide shares stories about life on the river. The Miss Mara adventure is suitable for children aged six and older.
Reawaken your senses with a walk on the wild side, immersing yourself in the bush rather than merely observing it. Your expert field guide will position you downwind of larger game to avoid disturbance, while also pointing out the smaller creatures, insects, plants, and geology often missed on drives. The walk can be tailored to your specific interests. Bush walks are suitable for guests aged sixteen and older.
While you enjoy private time, the dedicated Mack & Madi crew of field guides and childminders will entertain children aged 5-11. The Safari Club Eco Garden is a child’s paradise, offering a comprehensive bush entertainment space. Kids will have the chance to learn animal tracking, camp in the bush, watch outdoor movies under the stars, and immerse themselves in nature. They’ll relish the freedom and adventure, all while making new friends.
The on-call spa menu offers indulgent treatments such as massages, body wraps, and facials, delivered right to the privacy of your luxury tent. Using natural TheraNaka™ oils and healing techniques, these treatments aim to relax the body and elevate the spirit, promoting wellness from the inside out.
Spend a night under the stars in a solar-powered treehouse, a remote and luxurious retreat spread across two levels. Featuring an enclosed shower, bedroom, lounge, and viewing decks, it offers uninterrupted views of the Waterberg and Marakele plains. Arrive at sunset for sundowners and a catered picnic, then let the sounds and scents of the bush lull you to sleep. While wildlife carries out its nocturnal routines below, you’ll enjoy the serene company of the sky and stars above.
The Creative Lab offers a unique way to preserve your safari memories by printing your favorite personal photos onto high-quality canvas. Our consultant is available to provide advice on capturing the perfect shot and uses digital software to enhance your images. You can also create a leather-bound album to cherish those unforgettable moments. Camera gear is available for rental to help you capture every detail.
Step into the heart of the African wilderness with an immersive virtual tour of Marataba. Explore the luxury of the lodges, the serenity of the treehouses, and the breathtaking beauty of the natural surroundings—all from the comfort of your home.

Accommodation
The fifteen stone and canvas Luxury Tents at Marataba are far from basic. Enjoy the comfort of a king-sized bed, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a deep soak or a refreshing outdoor shower. With a well-stocked craft bar and a shaded viewing deck, you can comfortably observe the game as it roams by.
Each of the four luxury tents is perfect for a family safari, featuring a separate children’s bunk-bed room with its own en-suite bathroom, including a shower. This area is distinct from the main bedroom, providing both parents and kids with their own space. To ensure the safety of younger guests, these tents are not built on stilts.
