Mateya Safari Lodge

Dream

Five individually designed suites comprise this stunning resort's range of intimate accommodations. Inside, a rusticism in the form of hand-crafted mahogany furnishings and original African artwork is brought to life by the opulent bathroom. With panoramic views of the African plains, private decks with rim-flow pools offer awe-inspiring views of game making their way to the waterhole.By only catering to a maximum of ten guests, Mateya Safari Lodge is able to create bespoke spaces that give guests a piece of wild Africa all to themselves.

Eat

Dining options will be the only dilemma, though a rather enviable one, on your trip here as a consequence of Mateya Safari Lodge’s sublime dining options. You may choose to dine beneath the stars on the outdoor decking as a constellation of flavours delights the taste buds, or indeed you may opt for a fusion of African gastronomy using the finest ingredients. The glass-walled dining room also provides views of the plains right from your table while private dining is available upon request for yet more exclusivity.

The aforementioned wine cellar holds an impressive selection of both local and continental fine wines, champagnes, malts and brandies for an indulgent way to wash down those delicate flavours.

Play

Located just south of Botswana, the Madikwe Game Reserve offers a South African experience like no other! Game drives will see you take to a 4x4 with a professional guide to get up and close to wild animals in their natural habitat. A maximum of four guests is permitted for these drives, so you’ll really feel cared for and that the same sense of exclusivity at the lodge is continued on your amazing safari experience. Alternatively, bush walks are an excellent way to really study and learn about the wonders of animals in the wild, and like a game drive you have the amazing opportunity to spot the super seven (elephant, white and black rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog).

Unwind

Though relaxation is something that is achieved throughout the resort, whether it be from the suites’ very own rim-flow pool deck with tranquil panoramic views or the ability to relax and savour a sumptuous meal beneath the stars, a truly luxurious experience is defined by going the extra mile. Indeed, that’s exactly the case at Mateya Safari Lodge where you can enhance your wellbeing even further with a choice of treatments. It would be the pleasure of the resident therapists to treat you to a full body massage, African head massage, body exfoliation or hot stone therapy. Other treatments include reflexology, invigorating facials, hand and feet specials and even an African potato body wrap.
