The restaurant around the watering hole is outstanding. It has a beautiful view of the area, with occasional elephants and other animals that make it unforgettable. The buffets were great, the staff were friendly and the rooms and facilities were clean and pleasant. I’ve stayed at several places around the Pilanesburg and Kwa Maritane is by far my favourite.

A nice (large) lodge with potential
Clearly one of the better lodges in Pilanesberg, beautifully located and well maintained.
Check in experience was excellent and very friendly and attentive.
This is the Wild, that they struggle to keep the rooms insect-free must not surprise.
It was unfortunate that due to heavy rainfall, all game drives had to exit the park and enter at another gate costing 20 minutes driving extra before game viewing could actually begin.
That turn-down service left all lights on in the evening is so 20th century - this is particularly unfortunate in South Africa in times of load shedding.

Stayed here 18 years or so ago before the fire. We felt that nothing has changed, it was looking tired. The dinning was limited, our 14 year old daughter couldn’t really find much she liked. We were there 2 nights which for us was enough. The staff were excellent.

Staying inside the park is well worth the extra cost. Lots of things to do on property. The 2 times game drives were amazing. Staff was outstanding. Everyone was super nice, super helpful, and plenty of staff around to help out any time of day.

Such a wonderful place
Really nice rooms with comfy beds, wildlife just outside the door. The food is varied and very well made, the gamedrives are exciting. We also went on a hot-air balloon ride. Pricy but well worth the money. All in all a perfect stay.

Not a 4 star game lodge
This was a 70 birthday get away. Sadly I did nothing for the first three nights about the thatch and insects falling on the bed. The third night was impossible with rats sweeping and rat dropping on the bed. Our last night was what we had expected. Food good except for the stale bread and bread rolls. For a quite get away this place should be avoided, uncontrolled kids messed dining badly
