Matimba Bush Lodge

What an amazing stay! We decided to elope and was warmly welcomed and accommodated at Matimba Bish Lodge by owner Danella and staff, Sharon and Martin. We would recommend the lodge with an open heart to anyone that would like to holiday or stay for a quick break away! Our bedroom was spacious and well laid out, bathroom featured all luxury amenities. The location of the lodge is superb with a lovely view over the dam and we sighted wild- and birdlife in abundance. Our every need was attended to, with small extra detail to show that Danella and her team walk the extra mile for their guests. The chef, Martin, did not fail to surprise us with excellent culinary skills with every meal. Thank you again Matimba Lodge!

My partner and I had an amazing stay in the Elephant room for his birthday.It’s such a tranquil and relaxing place and you get to see giraffe and watch the hippos from the deck if you are lucky.Service was top-notch from the staff and the owner and they would do anything to make your stay memorable.Dinner was superbly cooked. We had a mouth-watering fillet steak with carrot purée and mash.

The host was superb, was there when we needed, over and above the resident assistant Sharon. We were thoroughlyimpressed by service and recommendation by the host and her team.

Alberto is probably the best ranger I have ever been on games with. Awesome moment

This place is just amazing!! It's located just about 10min. away from Kruger National Park. Daniela is a wonderful person, very welcoming, super friendly and very interesting with a lot of great ideas. The place is very spacious, there is a outdoor area where you can BBQ and a nice chill out area right at the river. The terrace has an amazing view and is perfect to enjoy the breakfast or the delicious dinner. The indoor area is very stylish too with a lot of thoughtful touches. The rooms are as amazing as the rest of the house, sparkling clean, big and super comfy beds with mosquito nets around it, spacious bathroom with amazing amenities, an indoor and even an outdoor shower which you definitely have to try!! Unfortunately I never met Alberto but I would definitely go on one of his safari tours the next time I'm visiting. All in all I can only recommend you to try this experience at Matimba Bush Lodge and make sure to stay long enough to enjoy it to the fullest!! Thanks again Daniela for everything!

Lived to be there. We only stayed a couple of nights, did not use any of the facilities. The unit (house) was outstanding. Beautiful, great bathroom, nice bed and clean. The air conditioning system is outdated and very noisy.
