Themes covered would be early Joburg history, migrants in the city, formation of Soweto, forced removals, resistance, Nelson and Winnie Mandela, 1976 Student uprising and Mass struggle, Soweto today. A half day doesn’t generally include lunch but you can grab something to eat along the way. . The Apartheid Museum contains a huge amount of information, interviews, real life events and protests that occurred, and one needs at least 2 hours to be able to cover everything.

Marataba Safari Lodge

When we discovered malaria-free Marataba, we instantly knew we had found something very special. The reserve’s 23 000 hectares are unlike anything we have ever seen, with spectacular landscapes featuring mountains, cliff faces, gorges, open savannahs, and navigable waterways. We were struck by the sheer diversity and abundance of wildlife and knew that this place could hold its own among South Africa’s greatest reserves.

For a one-on-one private African safari, you truly don’t get better than this Award-Winning 5-Start lodge!

Sensory pleasure; personalized service; and excellent healthy food (expertly paired with fine South African wines) are just some elements that go towards elevating the Marataba experience to another level. Malaria Free, perfect for families, Marataba Safari Lodge is a simple extension of the natural environment beyond its walls – rich, bold, organic and patently magnificent. If you sit quietly for long enough, you can feel the energy of the countless people who have made this place home since The Stone Age.

Marataba Thabametsi Tree House

“Probably the furthest we’ve ever been from another human being.” – Cassandra Zuffante and Nico Gaviola

Our Treehouse sets you in the middle of a big landscape, globed by an even bigger sky, its lights twinkling down to the horizon. Below, the stillness is punctuated by animals’ whistles, huffs, and growls… carried on the wind.
This is not simply a sleep-out – this is an adventure with Africa, one-on-one.

Thabametsi is a new and luxurious Treehouse hideout. Solar-powered and built over two levels, it includes the main bedroom, full shower, lounge, and viewing decks presenting the Waterberg Mountains and verdant expanse of the reserve in all their splendor.

Driven by your field guide, you’ll arrive as sunset gilds the landscape, and the coolness of approaching evening brings animals into the open. A gourmet, tapas-style picnic has been laid out for you at your table on the deck, from where you have front row seats to the wildest theatre.

There are few such experiences left on earth that bring you so close to source.
