Overview

About Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge

Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge sits in Pilanesberg National Park, with a waterhole hide reached through an underground tunnel. Game drives explore Big Five country, while two outdoor pools, a playground and a children’s programme give families plenty to do between outings. Rooms include king, twin and family options, with air-conditioning and tea and coffee facilities. The Daily Rate includes breakfast, dinner and one game drive per adult each day. A cocktail lounge, restaurant and spa provide places to unwind back at the lodge.

“The waterhole hide adds wildlife watching between drives, while family rooms, pools and a children’s programme make this a practical choice for a family safari.”
