Marataba Mountain Lodge stands above Waterfall Valley in the Waterberg, and runs on solar power.

It has only 5 rooms, each for 2 guests, with a fireplace, a private terrace, a king bed and a rain shower. The lodge describes its style as Scandinavian design meeting African wilderness, and the mood is one of space and silence. Experiences here include a water safari and stargazing. With 10 guests at most, it is a lodge for people who value quiet.
