Introduction
If you're searching for that rare and unforgettable safari
experience,
offering a luxurious destination with breathtaking natural
surroundings,
then welcome to Mateya. The Mateya Safari Lodge one of the most
prestigious lodges of its kind in the world and certainly one of the most
exclusive in Southern Africa. Located in the spectacular 75,000 hectare
Madikwe
Game Reserve, Mateya is the ultimate compliment of exquisite
architectural design and comfort enhanced by the splendour of a pristine
African
setting.
Drawing inspiration from across the continent, the lodge is a
perfect fusion of diverse influences, providing unique insight into
Africa's many varied and beautiful cultures. The abundance of
culture seems to flow from the land itself, from which some of the
earliest remnants date back to the Stone Age. It was here that
explorer, Sir David Livingstone, first fell in love with and later
married Mary Moffat.
