Nestled among dramatic granite kopjes, Matobo Hills Lodge is a modern yet welcoming lodge that offers affordable luxury with a vibrant African twist.
The lodge’s spacious, thatched chalets are designed for comfort and privacy, with sunlit windows framing breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. Families can unwind by the natural rock swimming pool or enjoy the atmospheric granite bar with panoramic vistas of the Maleme Valley. For unforgettable moments, the lodge hosts starlit bush dinners atop a nearby granite boulder, creating magical dining experiences under starry African skies.
The rich experiences of Matobo National Park lie just beyond your doorstep. Embark on thrilling rhino-tracking safaris on foot, an exhilarating opportunity to encounter these increasingly rare creatures in their natural habitat.

Cultural experiences, like village tours in the Silozwe Valley, add depth to your stay, while visits to iconic landmarks such as Cecil Rhodes’ ‘View of the World’ offer a fascinating insight into this region’s complicated colonial legacy, including its history as a refuge for the Ndebele people during colonial conflicts.
