Trip itinerary

Day 1

This morning you will be met at Johannesburg Airport or your Johannesburg hotel and transferred by road to your lodge for dinner and overnight after an afternoon game drive (time-permitting). (LD)

Accommodation: 2 nights Marataba Safari Lodge.

Located in the non-malarial Marakele National Park, just a few hours drive north of Johannesburg, the luxurious 15 room en-suite tented lodge sits in awe-inspiring natural beauty. This is one of the most spectacularly beautiful places in South Africa, and least well known to visitors. Rich red mountain rock bears down on the verdant plains. All of the large game species from elephant and rhino to big cats can be seen, together with amazing birdlife. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives while the day ends with sundowner drinks on the water, the sun setting behind the mountain range. Children of all ages are welcome.

The Marataba rangers have an intricate knowledge of the bush and its wildlife and a passion for conservation. Learn about the behaviour and habitats of the animals, the history and origins of the land, its people and cultures. The opportunity to walk in the African bushveld is reminiscent of the intrepid explorers who navigated wild Africa in years gone by. Guests can follow in the footsteps of these brave explorers and, along with a qualified guide, head out on designated routes through the park. Each route has been created by animals walking these same paths, year after year, creating a well-worn route through the dramatic landscape of the Waterberg Mountains. Learn about the medicinal uses of the local flora, view animals at eye level and experience the rhythm and energy of the bush.

Day 2

Enjoy morning and afternoon game activities. (BLD)

Day 3

After breakfast you will be transferred by road back to Johannesburg. (B)
