The Mateya Safari Lodge consists of five individually designed luxury air-conditioned 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.

The original African artworks that can be found in each suite seem to reflect the atmosphere of the Madikwe Reserve - a beautiful, vital, and untamed stretch of the Bush. Lying under the shade of the whole window sala, or immersing in the fresh water of one's rim-flow swimming pool, each and every feature of the suite provides total privacy and comfort.

The en-suite bathroom has a secluded open-air shower inviting you to luxuriate in a delightful setting that is designed to satisfy guests' ultimate enjoyment.
