Matetsi River lodge

Each camp functions independently with its private staff and management, adding an extra layer of personalized service. In terms of experiences, Matetsi crafts an eclectic array of activities that don’t just dwell on traditional safari but also engage guests in the aquatic ecosystem of the Zambezi River. This duality offers guests the luxury of choice, whether it’s game viewing within the reserve or exploring the river by boat.

Matetsi River Lodge lies within an environment featuring multiple biomes, contributing to a diverse catalog of flora and fauna. The Matetsi reserve harbors species like the sable antelope, lion, and elephant, presenting a vivid tapestry of Zimbabwean wildlife. Its proximity to Victoria Falls allows for day-trips to one of Africa’s most illustrious landmarks, making it an optimal choice for those seeking diversity in their safari expedition.
