Your Days at Matobo
9 experiences · March Sale — 50% off all packages
ShareThere are 195 countries on Earth. Only one has Matobo Hills — 3-billion-year-old granite cathedrals, the world's highest concentration of San rock art, and white rhino you can track on foot. This is not a game reserve behind a fence. This is wilderness as it was meant to be.
March only. Every package, half the price. Same legendary chalets, same award-winning guides, same private UNESCO World Heritage access. The only thing that's changed is what you pay. Book before 31 March — stays valid through June 2026.
The view from our bed was amazing — drinking coffee in bed in the morning looking out over the hills. The rooms are very spacious allowing us to spread out and relax. The pool, dining and bar area are exceptional with outstanding views.
What a gorgeous place. The staff were really lovely, very attentive and smiley. The rooms were fabulous and very well appointed. The food was absolutely delicious. The whole experience was truly magical.
What a gem of a place! Sundowner time will be calling early, so get out there and enjoy a delicious cocktail and be amazed by the ever changing light in the rock formations surrounding this paradise. Dinner was lovely, service with smiles.
The bar area is really beautiful and the perfect place to wind down, relax and have some sundowners. All in all our only regret during our stay was that we couldn't stay longer, as it was a very memorable experience.

Real reviews from guests who've walked the boulders, tracked the rhino, and dined under the stars.
"I spent 5 adventurous and memorable days exploring prehistoric cave art — some obscure and remote — with TK, the lodge's intrepid and knowledgeable guide. Unlike anything I've experienced on a vacation."
"We've been on safari across Southern Africa for 20 years. Matobo was unlike anything else — tracking rhino on foot through those boulders, sundowners on 3-billion-year-old granite. The value was extraordinary."
"I took my family back after 12 years and we had a wonderful stay. The scenery is out of this world. Thank you to Josh & the team for looking after us — the kids had the most brilliant time. We will definitely be back!"
"We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. Dining under the stars — a 4-course meal of delectable treats. Behind the lodge you can climb the rock: the view from the top is incredible. We could not recommend this more highly."
"She personalised every aspect of my visit. The staff — Thoko, Tatenda, Tawanda, Bheki, Bridget, Amos, Clive, Michael, Thandi and Andile. I know each name for a reason and each smile I can call up in a heartbeat. You guys rock — excuse the pun!"
"Our guide Takudzwa allowed us to feel deeply immersed in the spectacular Matopos landscape. It's this combination of stunning natural setting and genuine hospitality that creates truly special experiences. Enchanting."
