Kwa Maritane, Pilanesberg National Park, North West Province

Construction on Kwa Maritane commenced centuries ago. An ancient alkaline volcano fashioned the very hills that Kwa Maritane stands on today. Hence it's name, which literally means "Place of the Rock". From here, you can look out over the infinite plains adjacent to the Pilanesberg National Park - an area rich in wildlife and hosting around 365 species of birds.

Perhaps it's these ideal natural surroundings that won us the "Best Game Lodge" Award at the 1998 and 2001 Conference & Exhibition Venue Awards. Or maybe it's just that we offer distinctive service in every way.

Make a whole evening of it with an afternoon drive combined with a bush braai at our Boma. During the summer months of September to April, you enjoy the thrill of a nightlife encounter on our special night drives.
