We think Mateya's rangers are among the best in the whole area. They're masters at bringing the landscape to life. And they only ever put four people in a vehicle, so you're guaranteed a more private, personal game-viewing experience. It's also home to one of the world's finest collections of African art including carvings, majestic oil paintings and life-sized bronze statues. When it comes to service and style, Mateya does things traditionally - albeit to impeccably high standards. We like to think of it as the Rolls Royce of Madikwe safaris.
The chef keeps his food classic and simple, which is always great in the bush as there is less to complicate matters. Dietary requirements such as gluten free requests are not a problem for them.
