Each of the 11 canvas-and-stone Tented Suites is tastefully furnished and decorated with a contemporary twist. Whether sharing it with lover, friend or family (or keeping it all to yourself), the interior is ample, and the attention to detail impeccable.
Each Tented Suite is approximately 45m2 and has a private deck, a double bed (convertible to twins), air conditioning, open-plan bathroom en-suite, outdoor shower, in-room safe, mini bar, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and a range of deluxe amenities.
Each of the four luxury tents is ideal for a family safari stay and includes a second children’s bunk-bed room kitted out just for them and with its own en-suite (including a shower). This section is separated from the main bedroom, giving parents (and kids) their own space. These tents are not on stilts to ensure the safety of our young guests.

Nestled alongside the tranquil Matlabas River in Marataba, this exclusive-use Residence offers sweeping vistas of the landscape and its majestic mountains. This is a family nature retreat where you set your own safari agenda, spend leisurely afternoons observing wildlife along the riverbank, enjoy sundowners and memorable alfresco dinners. You have four separate Luxury Tents for ultimate privacy with a main area that includes a lounge, dining area, kitchen, an open bar, a welcoming fireplace, a boma facility, and a pool. Your residence butler takes care of the details, and your personal chef arranges gourmet meals, and everything in-between. With everything taken care of you can relax and enjoy all the wonders of a safari at Marataba.
