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.

Our experience with safari.com was great!
I worked with Denise Heemro to put together the perfect safari. Denise was patient and responsive in addressing our clients' needs and helped us to find the perfect accommodations at an affordable price. She put together two separate packages and helped us think through options to choose the perfect trip. We'll work with her and safari.com next time we're putting together a safari package for our clients or our own family!
