A six star rating!

Mary Ellen,

This was a most incredible adventure. If there were a six star rating, this would get it.

Safari at Marataba Safari Lodge, Waterberg, South Africa

The Table Bay Hotel service was impeccable and all the staff wonderful. The breakfast was the most extravagant display I have ever seen from oysters on the half shell to made to order crepes. The view from the room overlooked the bay and on to Table Mountain. Amenities in the room were top notch. We loved the pod coffee maker. Our dinner was perfect and made for a very enjoyable evening. Service was awesome

We did the City tour and the peninsula tour, both of which I would recommend. The Greenmarket in town was a fun place and we bought all our souvenirs there. Finally, the wine country tour was an exciting day. The wineries were most accommodating and offered a wonderful selection of wines. 

The safari and the Marataba Lodge was beyond our expectations. The itinerary mentions relaxation time between the morning and evening game drives but there is so much action and activity during the day we were never without some activities. I recommend the optional boat tour and hike they do during the day. Again if there were a six star rating, this place would merit it. All the meals were excellent including the outdoor barbeque they had one night. We had some of the best calamari ever. Our jaws dropped when we got to our "tent". So beautiful was the décor and we will never forget the outdoor shower overlooking the game reserve. Our guide could not have been better. It was wonderful to have our guide David who was very passionate about conservation and his dedicated exuberance for the environment and the animals. He was knowledgeable on so much of the animal characteristics and behavior. All the guides worked as a team so that everyone could have the opportunity to see as much as possible.  Yes, we did get to see the Big Five and much more.

The trip home was long but we made all the connections. South African Airlines is very professional and safety conscious.

In summary we look forward to our next adventure with Lion World Travel. Our time was too short but we were fortunate with weather and logistics to fill every minute with wonderful memories. Thanks for setting up this wonderful trip.
