Family Adventure
Young explorers thrive in the Waterberg, where freedom and adventure create lifelong wildlife passion. At Marataba Safari Lodge, families discover the bush together - game drives, the Safari Club Eco Garden, and hands-on experiences proving that the best family memories happen when children have room to be genuinely curious.
Stargazing
The Waterberg night wraps around you, ancient mountains framing a sky untouched by city lights. At Marataba, field guides point out constellations and planets during evening drives and dinners, revealing a celestial display that has guided travellers for millennia. Surrounded by mountains and wilderness, the darkness here allows stars to reveal themselves completely. The same sky that led explorers now stretches infinitely above you.
Safaris
Twice-daily game drives and bush walks reveal Big Five encounters across the Waterberg with expert field guides. Witness wild animals behaving exactly as they should in their natural habitat.
Rhino Conservation
Participate in vital rhino protection during April-September interventions. Fit tracking collars, collect samples, and contribute hands-on to safeguarding black and white rhino populations in Marakele.
Celebrations
Important moments feel different against ancient mountains. Proposals at viewpoints, weddings with the Waterberg behind you, honeymoons at Thabametsi Treehouse – where the wilderness becomes part of your story.
Creative Lab
Professional equipment and expert guidance help you capture the Waterberg properly. Edit and print on-site, transforming safari moments into photographs and albums worth keeping.
Community Experience
Visit Sentrum Community's learning centres where children travel vast distances for education. Meet the educators and families proving that determination overcomes geographic isolation and creates futures.
