EXPERIENCE

Nestled in the rocky outcrop of the Gabbro hills, the Mateya Safari Lodge, comprising of a dining, lounge, and relaxation area, also provides a high elevation with uninterrupted views of the reserve. The suites are arranged in a radial configuration around one of the hills, each with a private, infinity plunge pool and natural window sala overlooking the waterhole and plains. The emphasis at Mateya is on elegance; an atmosphere of comfort that in harmony with the natural surroundings reinvigorates the body, mind and spirit for an unforgettable experience.

The lodge consists of five individually designed luxury thatched suites. Each suite blends with its natural surroundings and offers uninterrupted views of the waterhole and plains. Guests can enjoy a balance of sophistication and comfort, in total privacy and harmony with nature, savoring the rare pleasure of their very own secluded slice of Africa. Indeed, the original African artworks that adorn each suite seem to reflect the very essence of the Madikwe Reserve – a beautiful, vital, and untamed stretch of bush.

Lying under the shade of your natural window sala, or immersing in the cool water of your rim-flow pool, each and every feature of your suite provides total privacy and comfort. The ambience of a fresh and clear night is warmed by the heat from the custom-designed fireplace, and as guests settle down to admire the myriad of stars speckling the sky, the whispering breeze utters magical words that speak of tomorrow’s promise.

Only the finest homegrown ingredients go into each and every meal, prepared to delight the palate with a harmony of flavors and textures true to the African spirit. Guests may want to marvel at the canopy of stars on a clear night, whilst dining on the rim-flow pool deck of their suite. For a wilder culinary experience, submerge in the glory of the African night skies as guests dine beneath the clear glow of a galaxy of stars while the roar of an open-air fire core ensures comfort. The Mateya wine cellar is also available for private dining, offering a more distinctly elegant setting.

To bring home the renewing ambience of Mateya and the majesty of the setting, guests can be treated to a full range of pleasurable and rejuvenating body treatments by a dedicated health therapist. Relish a relaxing moment in the warm bubbles of the luxurious jacuzzi or give way to the energetic call of the wilderness by making use of the personalized gym. Feel the freedom to take a healthy breath of Mateya magic, restoring the mind, body and soul.
