Departs: Daily
..................................................
Located in the non-malarial Marakele National Park, just a few hours drive north of Johannesburg, the luxurious 15 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.

Namibia and South Africa

Once again Maria did a fantastic job of organising our African adventure.
Our private tour of Namibia by Ultimate Safaris was excellent with a truly wonderful guide and very well equipped safari vehicle. Although many of the roads are terrible, the scenery and animal encounters more than make up for it. Paying the extra for a private tour rather than the group tour is well worth it.
The Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel in Cape Town was wonderful. Great location, large well equipped rooms and caring staff.
Marataba Safari Lodge, in north west South Africa, has to be in one of the most stunning locations in Africa. The lodge has a large concession in the Marakele National Park, which is home to most of the African animals you expect to see on safari. A luxury experience, but unfortunately a boring 4 hour drive from Jo'berg.
Madikwe Safari Lodge is also a 4 hour drive from Jo'berg, in the Madikwe Game Reserve. A wonderful luxury lodge with great food and intimate service, however the Reserve is so large, that finding many of the animals can become a frustrating experience.
Ilios Travel and South African Airways both provided reliable, on time transfers and flights during our trip.
This was our 4th trip to Africa, but will certainly not be our last!

    Day 1 - Marakele National Park

    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 - Marakele National Park

    Enjoy morning and afternoon game activities. (BLD)

    Day 3 - End of Marataba Safari Lodge Stay

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