"Marataba is amazing! A truly unforgettable safari experience with amazing views you wont get elsewhere. The best part of our trip was our guide, JJ. He was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the Bush from him! Thank you Marataba and especially JJ for the best safari ever!"
"My stay at 57 Waterberg was amazing. The food was better than some 5 star restaurants. Ephriam, our game driver, was the best. He made sure our drives were relaxing and enjoyable. I would also recommend a scheduling a massage with Witness. "
"Place is beautiful the couple who runs it will do anything for you.Excellent cook in tour guide. The road to their cottages is a little long but worth the effort."
"Everything met our expectations and more. Staff was very helpful with everything. Very exiting game drives. Truly amazing. The lodge is beautiful and the rooms are definitely 5 stars. Food was outstanding most of the time. You have a luxurious feeling when there is a limit of 10 occupants on the lodge. Recommended 100% from our side!"

Sediba Luxury Safari Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was 6 stars. Located inside the private game reserve - you are picked up at the gates - being 30 minutes rough terrain drive from Sediba and thereafter are made to feel like special guests. Only 6 lodges in use (8 max) means total of 12 guests when the park was fully booked. The staff could not be more friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested. The rooms truly luxurious and spacious. Fluffy white towels changed several times a day. We had an entirely private deck overlooking the valley, bathtub inside, hot tub outside. The communal pool was very cold (early Sept) but most people stayed in their lodges when not in the restaurant or on the drive. The chef is talented and although a set menu, happy to offer alternatives. Our guide, Mike, was friendly, passionate about everything around him and entertaining and very talented - driving whilst tracking and spotting and commentating on animals, birds, plants, everything. It's a smaller reserve with rocky terrains, making the driving an off road experience and spotting animals a little more challenging than some of the open parks but thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night, 12 drive experience (we saw animals to and from the gates). Martha, Martin, Nadia and all of the staff were exceptional. "
