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 kept his food classic and simple, which I think is always great in the bush as there is less to complicate matters. They really went out of their way to accommodate my gluten free request.
