Mateya Safari
Lodge, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Mateya Safari Lodge is situated in the spectacular 75,000 hectare
Malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve.
The reserve is characterized by extensive plains which slope in a
north-easterly and easterly direction towards the Marico River. The
Dwarsberg Mountain Range forms the reserve’s southern boundary, and the
Tweedepoort Escarpment forms the dividing line between the reserve’s
northern and southern sections, rising to 1328m at Tshwene-Tshwene
Mateya Safari Lodge is designed for the discerning traveler, offering a
graceful fusion of relaxed comfort in a beautiful setting. The lodge
caters for a maximum of ten guests. As such, you are assured exclusivity,
privacy and the very highest standards of personal care and attention at
all times.
Nestled in the rocky outcrop of the Gabbro hills, Mateya Safari Lodge,
comprising dining, lounge, and relaxation areas, provides a high
elevation, uninterrupted view of the reserve. The suites are arranged in a
radial configuration around one of the hills, each with a private,
rim-flow pool deck and natural window sala overlooking the waterhole and
plains.
TMateya 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, savouring 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. Reclining in hand-crafted mahogany furnishings,
looking out as the Zebra lead the plains game to the waterhole, the
immediacy of your experience could not be more vivid. 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. Your en-suite bathroom complete with a secluded open-air
shower invites you to luxuriate in a sensual setting that is designed to
satisfy your ultimate enjoyment.
The ambience of a fresh and clear night is warmed by the heat from the
custom-designed fireplace, and as you settle down with a mug of hot coffee
to admire the myriad of stars speckling the sky, the whispering breeze
utters magical words that speak of tomorrow’s promise.
You may want to marvel at the canopy of stars on a clear night, whilst
dining on the rim-flow pool deck of your suite. For a wilder culinary
experience, submerge yourself in the glory of the African night skies as
you dine beneath the clear glow of a galaxy of stars while the roar of an
open-air fire core ensures your comfort. Mateya Safari Lodge will
invite you to a royal feast and a demonstration of expert culinary skills.
Tackling the African bush in custom-built 4x4 game drive vehicles offers
guests the thrill of getting close to game and tracking over vast
distances. With a maximum of four guests per drive each guest is assured
the personal care and attention of our rangers who will introduce you to
the intricate and wonderful features of the reserve.
