Matetsi Victoria Falls
Set on a private 15 km stretch of the mighty Zambezi River, within 55,000 hectares of pristine Private Game Reserve, Matetsi Victoria Falls is an award winning, five-star retreat which offers the ultimate combination of safari, river, relaxation and the Falls all-in-one. This stunning, family owned lodge is situated in a conservation area which was once decimated by poaching and illegal hunting.  Now visitors can enjoy huge breeding herds of elephant and buffalo, plains game, giraffe, zebra, herds of impala and warthog. Big cats are also often sighted, with lion and leopard most common.  Boat cruises on the Zambezi River also offer sightings of crocodiles, hippos and even occasional herds of elephant swimming in the river.
Matetsi Victoria Falls is a beautifully designed lodge in a superb location, offering understated luxury alongside an extraordinary team, including talented chefs, butlers and conservation minded guides, where guests have the opportunity to immerse in nature and luxury.
Conservation &Â Community
Matetsi Victoria Falls community empowerment starts with a 100% Zimbabwean team on property. They also partner with the Greenline Africa Trust, who focus on working with marginalised and vulnerable communities to develop, implement and support sustainable projects concentrating on livelihoods, health, education and biodiversity management.
The continued rewilding and conservation of Matetsi Private Game Reserve, which is carried out by the dedicated conservation team, and supported by guides, trackers.  The team and guests act as wildlife guardians while out on game drives, as this positive human presence across the property, provides eyes in the field and is a deterrent to possible poaching activity.

Rachel resides on the vibrant West Coast of Canada, specifically on Vancouver Island. She has a profound love for travel, having explored nearly 30 countries. However, it was a solo journey to Africa that truly ignited her passion. Upon stepping foot in Botswana for the first time, Rachel was captivated and knew she needed to explore more of the continent. Since then, she has ventured solo to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, and Kenya, where she traveled with Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps.

Hello there, I'm Brad, and my safari odyssey began with my first expedition to Kenya in 1984. Since then, I've had the privilege of guiding and exploring various African destinations, from Tanzania to Ethiopia, Rwanda to Zambia, and beyond. Yet, after 34 years, East Africa still captivates me like no other. My most recent adventure here was in June 2018. As an Environmental Conservation major in college, I found my perfect match in Gamewatchers and Porini Camps, whose groundbreaking conservation efforts in Kenya are unparalleled. The moment you witness an elephant in the wild for the first time, you're irrevocably hooked, just as I was. Whether you're embarking on your inaugural safari or your tenth, I'm here to curate the ideal experience tailored to your expertise level, accommodation preferences, and budget.
I'm based in Bend, Oregon, and you can reach me at brad@gamewatchers.com or by calling +1 224-558-1887. Let's make your safari dreams come true!
