Days 1 - 4
5* Marataba Private Luxury Safari Lodge
Full Board
You will be met from your international or domestic flight to Johannesburg for the 4-hour private luxury transfer to Marataba.
This is a very special place. Marataba South Africa is a malaria-free, private concession within the Marakele National Park. The park conserves 67 000 ha (165 560ac) of the UNESCO-recognised Waterberg Biosphere – the only savannah biosphere in the world! – and Iron Age sites of great historical significance. Marakele is a place of sanctuary, as its Tswana name suggests. It is home to the critically endangered black rhino, the world’s largest colony of endangered Cape vultures, and rare plant species of yellowwood and cedar trees, among a multitude of other fauna and flora. Our trails put guests in the thick of things, getting them closer to nature.
Your stay is on an all inclusive basis with all game drives.
At the end of your stay you will be transferred back to the airport for your onward flight to Victoria falls.
Marakele National Park
Marakele National Park is a truly special, malaria-free safari reserve set in the dramatic Waterberg mountains, around a 3.5 to 4-hour drive from Johannesburg airport. The scenery here is exceptional, with rugged peaks, deep valleys and wide open plains creating one of the most striking safari settings in South Africa.
Wildlife is excellent, with the chance to see elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, giraffe and a wide range of plains game, along with superb birdlife. Game viewing feels natural and unhurried, with far fewer vehicles than you would find in the more commercial reserves.
What really sets Marakele apart is its exclusivity. Visitor numbers are very limited, as access is effectively restricted to a small handful of high-end lodges. This creates a far more private and immersive experience, without the crowds and self-drive traffic often found in places like Kruger and Sabi Sands.
The very best time to visit is during the dry winter months from May to October, when wildlife is easier to spot and conditions are at their most comfortable. These dates also coincide with some of the very best times to visit Mauritius and other Indian Ocean islands, making Marakele a particularly strong choice to combine with a luxury beach stay.
It is a superb option for those seeking a more refined, scenic, and genuinely peaceful safari, with easy access and a natural fit within a wider South Africa and Indian Ocean itinerary.
Days 5 - 8
5* Matetsi Luxury River Lodge
Full Board
Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The Local people call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya", the smoke that thunders and is a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
There is a magic about them manifested in the towering column of spray when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk. Remarkably preserved in its natural state, Victoria falls inspires visitors as much today as it did David Livingstone in the 1860's. The falls and the surrounding area have been declared National Parks and a World Heritage Site, thus preserving the area from excessive commercialisation.
The stunning Matetsi River Lodge is set on a private 15 km stretch of the mighty Zambezi. Just 40 km upriver from the rush and spray of the Falls, Matetsi offers both world-class safari experiences and an idyllic oasis from which to explore, adventure, relax and recharge. Experience stellar five-star services rivalled only by the spectacular natural wonders. Guests, accompanied by knowledgeable, conservation-minded guides, are invited to explore Matetsi Private Game Reserve’s 55 000 hectares of protected and unspoiled wilderness on foot, by vehicle and by boat, while great herds of elephant, buffalo and plains game delight and amaze.
