This has got to be the worst accommodation we have ever had. On booking. com we should have been advised about the water situation. We couldn't even bath after a long journey. We were given a 200ml bottle of water to drink through the night, to brush our teeth and to make tea/coffee.Very expensive for what we got.

Matumi Game Lodge A little paradise / retreat outside Orpen gate. We were greeted at check-in by his daughter Alida who run this lodge with his father Peter. A fantastic beautiful garden which is a little paradise. Mango tree that bore fruit when we were there. Warthog and impalas, which graze in the garden. Met for the first morning of... More

Matumi Lodge does not have animals on its own land but you are efficiently transported just 10 minutes away to another Lodge where you enjoy exactly the same game drive experience as their 5 star Guests.We noticed that some Guests stay overnight en-route and do not take a safari. We had a friendly and informative guide and we saw elephants,... More

We have had a great holiday at Matumi. This was our first trip to South Africa. We went on an awesome afternoon safari. Saw lots and lots and Buffalo and Lions very close to the vehicle. The only thing the Elephants were thinking about were the Marula fruit. We also went with Pieter to Kruger Park with the open safari... More

We enjoyed a lovely braai in the evening, with great wine from their selection of wines and the aumbience around the bonfire... More

We had a wonderful stay at Matumi Game Lodge. Waking up in the morning by hearing the elephants, run and climb the wooden tower to observe them with our child, was just incredible! The lodge is at the heart of nature and the beautiful pool, the restaurant prepares good food, and when the evening barbecue around the campfire with the... More

We stayed with our parents, seniors, and expected a bit more than we got. It was not bad, but a bit run down sums it all up. We stayed in a self catering chalet and our parents stayed in the bedroom, while we stayed upstairs. Four beds were upstairs and it was blazing up there. Luckily the aircon did work.... More

We stayed here 4 nights with 2 family's with 5 children aged between 8 and 16 years old. The lodge wasn't too busy when we were there so the kids had the pool to themselves. Location of lodge is excellent with Kruger NP and Blyde river Canyon on your doorstep. We did a full day game drive thru Kruger with... More
