Mateya Safari Lodge/Madikwe. An unforgettable safari experience that is shared by only up to ten guests at one time, a luxurious refuge that prizes intimacy with nature - these are the hallmarks of a stay at Mateya Safari Lodge. Situated on the Gabbro Hills, it offers unimpeded views of the surrounding Madikwe Game Reserve and delivers a bushland encounter like no other.
All the five guest suites are situated around one of the hills, radiating outwards so that each has its own view of the waterhole and plains. From the wildebeest and zebra gathering at the waterhole to the lions roaring at night, guests are thoroughly immersed in the sights and sounds of nature.
Each suite has its own infinity-edge pool and deck, hand-crafted mahogany furnishing and a four-poster bed. Additional touches such as open-air showers and window salas bring nature even closer.
After a day of game-viewing or soaking up some indigenous culture, Mateya brings things to a splendid close with a romantic evening of fine dining in the authentic boma. In the open-air Fire Core, guests dine on the round deck surrounding an open fire, where the chef whips up a sterling African fusion meal.
At Mateya Safari Lodge, every detail is taken care of to sumptuous accommodations make this a one-of-a-kind experience in northwest South Africa.
