Delight in the Scandinavian-inspired simplicity of your luxury room, blending with the untamed beauty of the African wilderness.

Each evening, delight in a unique dining experience curated by the lodge in various picturesque locations, ensuring every meal is a testament to luxury and wilderness harmony.

Day 7: Departure

Embrace one last morning safari, revelling in the crisp morning air and wildlife activity, before returning to the lodge for a final breakfast. Complete your check-out arrangements as you gather your belongings, bidding farewell to Marataba with cherished memories.

Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
