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 nine and older. However, children of all ages are welcome with exclusive lodge bookings. Children under five are not allowed on standard game drives. Those aged 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 seamlessly with its natural surroundings, offering guests a peaceful and elevated view of the reserve.
Dining at Mateya is a unique 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 houses 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.

Denise was very helpful with planning our lodge/ safari experience. She helped me find a price that worked for me and an amazing lodge. She was very prompt and great to work with!

Excellent and pro-active service
Contacted safari.com and they (Denise) quickly responded to discuss plans. Took away requirements and within a short time came back with a proposed and costed itinerary. Based on this I made a few changes that were quickly incorporated and a final proposal that met all of my initial and revised requirements was produced and agreed - all flights and reservations were made and confirmed within 24 hours of the confirmation and deposit. They also provided insurance cover as part of the package. Considering the complexity of the trip (multiple countries, locations, flights etc) this was an easy process and as a seasoned traveller I was very impressed and happy with the service

Denise was so great and tentative! We have yet to go on our safari but the set up process was seamless and she managed to help us stick to our budget.
