The impact of your stay:

Marataba Luxury Lodges, in collaboration with the Marataba Community & Conservation Foundation, is actively involved in the development of Heuningvley Primary School. This institution welcomes approximately 300 learners each year, ranging from grade 1 to grade 7, and supports children from nearby reserves, villages, and farms. Located on a remote farm, the school faces challenges with no access to water and electricity. The comprehensive school development plan includes the installation of water equipment, construction of a new ablution/sanitation block, the addition of a signboard, and the construction of a new kitchen.

The lodges operate entirely on 100% renewable energy and were meticulously designed to harmonise with the environment, minimising any invasive impact. This commitment to sustainability reflects their dedication to responsible practices.
