Matetsi Water Lodge

About This Accommodation

Set within the 136,000-hectare Matetsi Private Game Reserve on the south bank of the Zambezi River — arguably the most exclusive address in southern Africa — this internationally acclaimed lodge represents the pinnacle of African safari accommodation. The 18 suites are architectural masterpieces in teak, stone, and glass, each with its own private pool cantilevered over the riverbank so that you wake to the sight of elephants drinking just metres below. The reserve is traversed exclusively by Matetsi's own guests, ensuring sightings of exceptional rarity and intimacy; big cats, wild dogs, and enormous elephant herds are regular visitors to the suites' private decks. Fully all-inclusive — game drives, boat cruises, all meals, and premium beverages are covered.
