Marrick Safari Lodge
Kimberley area, South Africa
Lodge










Nestled in 3000 hectares of unspoilt savannah thornveld close to Kimberley, Marrick Safari can be found. Vast expanses of space and silence provide endless opportunities for returning to nature. Guided 4×4 game drives are hugely rewarding with large herds of indigenous antelope to be viewed in their natural habitat. Join the early morning drive and enjoy a delicious buffet style breakfast in the bush. The area is well known amongst bird lovers and a wide variety of bird life, including birds endemic to the area, can be spotted here. Sunsets at Marrick are magical and there is nothing more relaxing after a hot day in the bush than sipping an ice cold drink next to the pan. Enjoy dinnertime around an open fire while chatting to friends and other guests before retiring to your luxurious cottage for a good night’s rest.The cottages are all fully equipped for self-catering purposes. Meals can be catered for on request. Our bush camp is the perfect choice for guests wanting secluded accommodation away from it all and close to nature. Visit Marrick Safari for friendly African farm hospitality in the unspoilt Bushveld of the Northern Cape.
Trevor took sole possession of the farm 15 years ago and since then he, together with his wife Hubre, has been working towards establishing a world-class eco-tourism operation focusing on the provision of home-style service and accommodation which offers diverse eco-tourism activities within an unparalleled, unspoiled natural environment.
It must be said that, while there is still a way to go yet, he is getting close to achieving this goal.
The property itself sustains a range of ecosystems, from African savannah land to rocky hillscapes to thicker thorny bushveld. There is even an ephemeral wet landscape, which in the future will become a permanent feature once plans for the provision of year-round water are completed.
