andBeyond Matetsi River Lodge
Lavish riverside lodges close to nature


Situated on 15 kilometres of Zambezi river frontage, the Matetsi River Lodge consists of two camps of nine suites, individual spaces richly decorated with authentic craft pieces that nod to the area’s cultural heritage and mineralistic abundance – think coppers, stone and woods in abstract forms – plus the Matetsi River House, a fully exclusive four-bed villa replete with private veranda overlooking the river, swimming pool and fire pit. Shared communal areas include a bar and al fresco dining surrounding the atmospheric glow of a fire bowl mark languid nights after a day’s wildlife spotting amid the 50,000 hectare protected Matetsi Game Reserve, or more adventurous excursions such as an air tour over the nearby Victoria Falls.
