Mateya Safari Lodge, a luxury retreat in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve, is designed for discerning travelers seeking comfort and privacy. With just five suites, the lodge offers exclusivity and personal service in a beautiful setting.
Mateya Safari Lodge accepts children aged 9 and older, though children of all ages are welcome with exclusive lodge bookings. Children under 5 are not allowed on standard game drives. Those 13 and under are charged 50% of the adult sharing rate unless staying in their own suite, in which case the full adult rate applies.
Guests aged 16 and older can participate in bush walks, while those over 60 must provide a medical certificate confirming their fitness. Participation is subject to management's discretion based on safety and suitability.
Each suite provides stunning views of the waterhole and plains, featuring private rim-flow pools, outdoor showers, and luxurious furnishings. Nestled in the Gabbro Hills, the lodge blends with its natural surroundings, offering guests a peaceful and elevated views of the reserve.
Dining at Mateya is a culinary experience, whether under the stars in the open-air fire pit or in the glass-walled dining room with sweeping views. The lodge's extensive wine cellar boasts 8,000 bottles of local and French wines, perfect for pairing with your meal.
The combination of sophisticated comfort, African art, and breathtaking landscapes makes Mateya Safari Lodge an unforgettable destination for a luxury safari experience.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
