South Africa & Victoria Falls Special – Stay 4, Pay 3

Monwana is located in the private 14,000-hectare Thornybush Game Reserve – part of the Greater Kruger National Park – a natural ecosystem of almost 2 million hectares. Enjoy an unhurried Big 5 safari – personal and uncrowded, with close contact animal encounters in the safe hands of expert guides and trackers during game drives and guided bush walks.

This is a lodge to be lived in, where the outside is invited in. Double volume vertical space, massive cathedral windows, and doors that open wide mean that you are part of the bush wherever you may be.

The lodge’s facilities include a lounge, bar, wine cellar, wraparound wooden deck, pool area, gym, spa, and safari boutique.

With never more than 8 rooms occupied, with a maximum of 16 guests, guests have the choice between Suites, Residences (Woodland and Savannah), and the exclusive Monwana Villa.

Experiences include private dining (including wine tasting in the cellar, a dinner for two under the stars, or a personal picnic), or revitalising body, mind, and spirit in the spa.

Marataba Mountain Lodge, one of only two lodges within the vast 21,000-hectare Marataba wilderness in Marakele National Park, offers an unparalleled private African safari experience.

The lodge’s seclusion within the Waterberg Mountain range, solar-powered and eco-friendly design, and minimalist Scandi-style architecture seamlessly blend with the dramatic natural backdrop.

The five Luxury Rooms, each with a king-sized bed, personal mini bar, Nespresso machine, wood-burning fireplace, en-suite rain shower, and shaded viewing deck, provide a refined and simple space to take in the breathtaking views of the Waterfall Valley.

Immerse yourself in the simple pleasures of the unspoilt African wilderness through intimate game drives led by FGASA-accredited field guides, guided bush walks that allow you to connect with nature’s finer details, and sunset water safaris on the Matlabas River.

Marataba Mountain Lodge offers a luxurious and enriching safari experience that allows you to reconnect with nature and yourself in one of South Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.

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.
