Miss Mara Boat Safari at Marataba
The Marataba Luxury Lodges are set in the beautiful Marakele National Park in South Africa's Waterberg region. They offer a safari experience that is different from regular game drives. There are many things to do, but the Miss Mara boat safari is one of the most exciting and unique. It gives you a unique view of the park's wildlife and beautiful scenery.
A Peaceful Trip on the Matlabas River
The Miss Mara boat safari is a leisurely trip along the calm Matlabas River, which flows into the Limpopo. This is the only way to see the park's animals from the water, which is a unique and more personal perspective than land safaris. The Miss Mara boat moves through the water quietly, so visitors can get very close to the animals without interfering with their natural behaviour.
Meeting Wildlife on the Water
The variety of animals seen in the water and along the banks of the river is one of the best things about the Miss Mara boat safari. Elephants often go to the river to drink and cool off. Watching them splash around in the shallow water is a beautiful sight. Hippos can be seen relaxing in the water, grunting, while crocodiles lay out in the sun on the banks of rivers. Birds like kingfishers, snake eagles, and bee-eaters like to visit the area, so the boat safari is also a great way to see them.
A Safari to Remember
One of Marataba's experienced field guides leads each trip on the Miss Mara boat. The guides share interesting information about the ecosystem and the animals they see, making the safari more educational. On board, snacks and drinks are available, so people can relax with a drink and enjoy the view.

A Slow and Personal Experience
The Miss Mara boat safari is unique because it moves slowly and takes place in a peaceful area. Unlike the often bumpy and exciting game drives, the boat cruise is smooth and relaxing, so you can look around and take pictures without interruptions. This makes it a great thing to do for people who want to enjoy the beauty of Marataba in a more relaxed way.
Sundowners and Safaris at Sunrise
The Miss Mara boat safari can start either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. On the morning cruises, you can hear the dawn chorus and see the bush come to life. You can see a beautiful sunset over the water on the afternoon cruises. As the sun goes down, the sky turns into a canvas of bright colours you will never forget. The Miss Mara boat safari is a must-do for anyone visiting Marataba.
