Conservation Efforts

Mateya Safari Lodge is proudly owned by The Mateya Wildlife South African Foundation Trust, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of Africa’s wildlife and natural heritage.

All profits generated by the lodge are reinvested directly into the Foundation, ensuring the continuation of the late Mrs. Susan W. Mathis’s vision, legacy, and lifelong commitment to conservation.

Mateya Safari Lodge is more than a luxury safari destination—it is a game lodge with a purpose. Every stay directly supports meaningful conservation and community initiatives, allowing each guest to become part of a lasting legacy dedicated to protecting Africa’s wildlife, preserving its wilderness, and creating a positive impact for generations to come.
