Free flights with our Marataba and Madikwe combo

There is a mystical place at the foot of the spectacular Waterberg Mountains on the ancient trade route sweeping through southern Africa past vast plains teeming with game.

Here, set amidst the dramatic landscape of the Marakele National Park, Marataba reflects Africa’s ancient wisdom and culture; the glorious forms and colour presenting a vibrant haven at the epicentre of modern design. Lulled by the heartbeat of the bushveld, awed by towering mountains, enthralled by the abundance of wildlife, secure and sensually nurtured in the indulgent atmosphere, live your dreams of safari at Marataba, a place of sanctuary where the plains touch the mountains.

Located in the Madikwe Game Reserve, Mateya Safari Lodge offers a luxury safari experience. This malaria-free reserve, situated in South Africa’s northwest, features open grasslands punctuated by rocky outcrops and majestic mountains.

It is home to lions, buffalo, cheetahs, elephants, leopards, black and white rhinos, and wild dogs, along with over 350 bird species.
