celebrations
The Waterberg has witnessed countless sunsets, but yours will be unforgettable. At Marataba, important moments happen against rugged mountains - proposals at viewpoints where plains stretch forever, anniversaries beneath infinite stars, milestones marked in a place that feels as significant as what you're celebrating.

Moments that need mountains
Turning 50 deserves more than a restaurant—how about the Waterberg at sunset with everyone you love? Anniversaries feel different surrounded by silence and stars instead of other diners. Family gatherings become the stories you'll retell when mountains provide the backdrop. Our team handles the tricky bits: finding perfect spots, chilling champagne in the bush, positioning tables where light flatters everyone. The mountains don't steal the moment - they hold space for it.
Say I Do Here
Weddings at Marataba range from intimate ceremonies to larger celebrations when you reserve both lodges exclusively. The Waterberg becomes your backdrop - ceremonies outdoors with mountains behind you, receptions under African stars. Our team coordinates every detail from catering to photography, ensuring your day unfolds seamlessly. The result feels authentic rather than formal - wilderness makes a better cathedral than most buildings ever could.
Honeymoons at Marataba
Honeymooners discover total privacy with extraordinary views. Days blend game drives with spa treatments, sundowners at viewpoints with quiet dinners for two. Spend a night at Thabametsi Treehouse - sleeping under stars with mountains in front of you, waking to wildlife and dawn light on peaks. No schedules, no other guests, just newlywed days moving at whatever pace feels right to you both.
Vusi also went out of his way to make my 30th birthday celebration unforgettable, working with my husband to surprise me with an exquisite champagne breakfast in the Treehouse. – Monica Freissle-Lewis
