The service couldn't have been better than at Matetsi. The staff was incredibly kind. The food was excellent and it seemed like you were being constantly served something. I took a cruise on the Zambezi River and the sunset was breathtaking with crocodiles,hippos,monitor lizards,and herons in the background. I also enjoyed the game drives where I saw lions,girafes,elephants,hyenas,civets,genets,zebras,African wild cat,and... more

We stayed 3 nights in early June. The lodge, once magnificent, needs a little sprucing but the staff are wonderful. Given conditions in Zimbabwe, this lodge does really well. It is well situated on a river, has a nice outdoor restaurant and spacious accommodations. The staff work very hard to make your stay a good experience. Your tourist dollars are... more

Beautiful setting right on the Zambezi River. Greatest staff!! Close enough to town for excursions to Victoria Falls.. but far enough away to feel like you are in your own private world.. The staff was fantastic from the moment we arrived.. we felt like we were leaving family when we did leave.. Great wildlife viewing with excellent rangers and trackers..... more

Allowing for the fact that Zimbabwe is still suffering from a massive economic collapse, Matetsi provides a high quality game lodge experience to rival some of those found in South Africa at much higher prices. After the recent very wet wet season, some of the rooms were out of action due to flooding but this was being dealt with. The... more

Very badly maintained lodge ( 3 of 6 villas per lodge). We were in West lodge and the staff were lovely. However the villas are very run down and full of bugs. We have spent a lot of time in Africa but no where with as many bugs! Window coverings broken, mozzie nets with holes and very dingy/dirty. Food was... more

These two words sum up the Matetsi experience, "simply amazing" Forget what you hear about Zimbabwe, this place is a diamond in the rough. Amazing staff, stunning location and great service coupled with a wildlife experience you will find hard to beat. Been there 6 times and will be going back. more

We just returned from Matetsi Lodge and we had a great time. We were originally hesitant to travel to Zimbabwe but were convinced by a Lodge representative that it was safe and that the Lodge was fully functional.This proved to be the case. The Staff at the Lodge were extremely accomodating and the food and facilty were top notch. We... more

What an amazing place! I would recommend it to anyone! We stayed for 4 nights (don't go for any less if you want to really relax) and loved every minute. The staff were outstanding, and the food superb, despite the crisis the country is going through. I would definitely recommend a massage by the talented Thembi, in the comfort of... more

Our recent stay at Matetsi was a treat. The staff is wonderful and try in every way to be helpful. The game viewing is first rate and the guides (our guide Rich was the best) and trackers are very flexible. The lodge is right on the banks of the Zambezi River and each cottage has a river view from a... more
