Art sets Mateya Safari Lodge apart: its gallery runs from oil paintings to bronze sculptures cast at life size.
The lodge has just 5 thatched suites, each individually designed, with mahogany furniture made by hand, a rim-flow pool and an open-air shower. They look across the Mateya plains to the Twene mountains in Madikwe. Guests also have a lounge and library, a gym and a full menu of spa treatments.
