Newmark Hotels & Reserves has launched special South African resident rates at LETAMO Lodge, part of QWABI Private Game Reserve in Limpopo’s Waterberg region.
The new “Pack the Whole Pride” offer invites local travellers to enjoy a full-board Big Five safari at exceptional value — with children under 12 staying free and teens aged 13–16 paying half price when sharing a second room.
Family-friendly luxury in the Waterberg
Located less than three hours from Johannesburg, LETAMO offers an accessible family-friendly safari escape that blends comfort, connection, and conservation within the UNESCO-declared Waterberg Biosphere.
The 58-room lodge caters to families with interleading suites, a Junior Conservationists Kids’ Club, a padel court, swimming pools, spa and gym facilities, and dining inspired by South African flavours.
“Launched ahead of the school holidays and festive season, the offer coincides with baby season — a time when the bush is at its most vibrant,” says Keaton Quarmby, Group Director of Marketing at Newmark Hotels & Reserves.
“With warm weather, abundant new wildlife, and resort-style amenities, it’s the perfect season for families to experience the wild together.”
Unforgettable game-viewing and nature activities
Guests can enjoy twice-daily game drives led by expert guides across QWABI’s 11 000-hectare reserve, home to the Big Five and a rich diversity of birdlife. Between drives, families can relax at the pool, book spa treatments, or enjoy nature-based kids’ experiences, from bush tracking to creative arts inspired by the wilderness.
“The ‘Pack the Whole Pride’ offer was created to make authentic safari experiences more attainable for South African families,” says Gareth Venner, Group Director of Sales at Newmark Hotels & Reserves. “LETAMO brings together the best of the bush — incredible wildlife, modern comfort, and meaningful connection.”
A safari for South Africans, by South Africans
“We believe that luxury safari experiences shouldn’t feel out of reach for South African families,” adds Neil Markovitz, CEO of Newmark Hotels & Reserves.
“By introducing local rates and free stays for kids, we’re inviting more South Africans to share in the beauty and biodiversity of the Waterberg — and to experience the warmth of LETAMO together.”
