We have just returned from a wonderful weekend away at Kwa Maritane. The lodge is excellent value for money and the staff really go out of their way to ensure you have a fabulous break. The rooms are spotless and much larger than the average hotel, especially important when travelling with two children. We were spoilt for choice at both... More

Pilanesberg is a 2.5hr drive away from Johannesburg, very convenient for a weekend in between business meetings. This was only my second safari lodge in Africa, so I cannot compare it to many others, but it is not clearly of the same standard as andBeyond (my first experience). The rooms at Kwa Maritane are pretty decent (though a long walk... More

Exceptional lodge with great staff and service, right from the welcome cocktail to the game drive and not forgetting the local braai at dinner on one of the nights. Highly recommended for time away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Special mention should be made on the private game viewing tunnel, excellent idea and Just Perfect.

The lodge was luxurious and very comfortable to stay in. The hide was quite a surprise ; we managed to see about 18-20 elephants at the watering hole. The game drive was very productive: a pride of lions, a herd of elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, springboks, antelopes, jackal, white rhino, Hippos and other small animals too. the guide /driver was...
