Check-in at the reception, the attentive staff ensure a luxury adventure and will accompany you to your beautiful classic room. Experience the tranquility and elegance of this hidden sanctuary, situated near the vibrant Kloof Street.

Before exploring Cape Town's luxuries, savour a refreshing beverage from the complimentary mini-bar, setting the tone for your indulgent stay.

Start your mornings with aromatic coffee or tea followed by a delightful breakfast at Upper Union Restaurant. Don't miss out on the shared dining experiences featuring carefully selected wines and bespoke cocktails, ensuring every meal is a culinary journey.

Enjoy the final breakfast at Cape Cadogan, before bidding farewell, as your journey continues back to Cape Town Airport by your designated representative.

Upon arrival at Johannesburg Airport, meet with the representative who will escort you to your next destination: the luxurious Marataba Mountain Lodge. From the moment you arrive, breathe in the stunning views and enjoy a welcome drink while the attentive staff assist with check-in.

Delight in the Scandinavian-inspired simplicity of your luxury room, blending with the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. Refresh with a beverage from your stocked mini-bar or a Nespresso coffee, then freshen up in your en-suite rain shower before joining the lodge for your first-afternoon safari.

Embark on an open vehicle safari guided by a seasoned FGASA-accredited field guide, ensuring close encounters with impressive wildlife.

Return to the lodge and enjoy your room's private deck or the serene poolside before a lunch infused with Scandinavian influences, enhancing your safari adventure.

Prepare for the late afternoon safari, witnessing wildlife emerge as the sun sets over the Waterberg mountains. Pause for Sundowners at a scenic spot, indulging in refreshments as the African sky transforms into hues of dusk.

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.

What our guests say about Nicole

Nicole at Safari.com is AMAZING!!!
I would love to share my experience with Nicole. She has worked tirelessly to help me make my dream vacation a reality. I had no idea how to start planning. Nicole suggested the most wonderful South African resorts and safaris. No matter how many changes I threw her way it was always received with a happy, positive attitude. I live in Hawaii and even though we were on a 12 hour time difference she was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Her expertise, knowledge and patience are unmeasurable. I was plagued with numerous payment issues from my bank in Hawaii. Nicole never wavered from being patience and more importantly positive that we could resolve each issue and get my trip booked. Nicole is a huge asset to Safari.com and I will scream it from the mountains to let everyone know what excellent customer service I have received. Nicole is a ROCKSTAR!!! We are so excited for our upcoming adventure of a lifetime!

Nicole at Safari.com
It was a pleasure to work with Nicole from Safari.com to secure our hotel stay at the Palace of the Lost City. Communication with Nicole was excellent, and she always kept us updated on the process of booking our dream vacation. She was even able to reserve the suite we wanted at a discounted rate! I would highly recommend Nicole and Safari.com to book your next dream safari adventure.

It was a great experience dealing with Shann. She was most accommodating and patient. We managed to sort things out very eventually. The only sore point I have is the 2 % surcharge for the card handling fee, which I find too excessive. Otherwise, I am pleased with everything.

Keith went above and beyond expectations arranging our holiday safari travels (for one vegan and one mobility-impaired traveller, no less:-). Safari.com is lucky to have Keith on board. He helped us feel confident in our choices, keeping us up to date with options, and finessing holiday scheduling issues with aplomb.
