Set apart from the rest of Matetsi River Lodge in the heart of the Matetsi Private Game Reserve, and with four private suites and a central open-to-the-elements living area, you could slip in here and remain unseen by the outside world for days, doing nothing but immersing yourself in the natural rhythms of the river and the bushveld, or reconnecting together as a family.
This is the ultimate celebrity retreat: private butler, chef and housekeeping staff are dedicated to making Matetsi River House guests feel completely at ease. Your time in the bush is your own and you can head out at any time that suits you in your private game vehicle to go game viewing, fishing, canoeing, birdwatching or on a river cruise. With 15kms of pristine river bank to explore, Matetsi Victoria Falls offers one of the most exclusive game experiences in Zimbabwe – although many guests come simply to escape, restore and recharge the soul.
It’s no surprise then that Matetsi Victoria Falls was included on the Condé Nast Traveller’s Hot List 2017, Travel + Leisure’s It List 2017, Tatler’s Travel Awards Winner in the Wild and Wonderful category in 2017 and About Time’s Top 10 Most Instagrammable Hotels in 2017, to name but a few.
