Mateya Safari Lodge

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mateya Safari Lodge Madikwe is at the foot of Dwarsberg Mountain Range which forms the southern boundary of the game reserve and the Tweedepoort Escarpment creates the dividing line between the reserve's north and south sections, rising to 1328m at Tshwane-Tshwane.

The five-star Mateya lodge is in the Madikwe Reserve in the Northern part of South Africa on the border with Botswana. This game abundant game reserve is characterised by its extensive plains which slope towards the East towards the Marico Valley.

The Mateya reception is beautifully decorated with original artworks and leads out onto a deck from where stunning views of the game reserve and surrounding mountain can be enjoyed. Full Internet and email facilities are available in the business centre of the Lodge. For guests who are inclined to a healthy dose of physical exertion, the cardiovascular gym provides all the necessary equipment one requires to satisfy the needs of a workout routine.

The lodge consists of 5 unique luxury air-conditioned suites. Each suite is matching with its natural surroundings and offers spectacular views of the waterhole and plains. Guests can enjoy a balance of sophistication and comfort, in total privacy and harmony with nature.

Indeed, the original African artworks which can be found in each suite seem to reflect the atmosphere of the reserve & a beautiful, vital, and untamed stretch of the Bush.

Lying under the shade of the tree, or immersing in the freshwater of one's rim-flow swimming pool, each feature of the suite provides total privacy and comfort. The en-suite bathroom is completed with an isolated open-air shower inviting you to luxuriate in a beautiful setting that is designed to satisfy guests' ultimate enjoyment.

Only the finest homegrown ingredients are used to prepare the meals served, ready to delight the palate with a harmony of flavours and textures right to the African spirit. For an exciting culinary experience, guests are invited to submerge themselves in the glory of the African night skies as one dine beneath the stars while the roar of an open-air fire core ensures your comfort.
