The forests and grasslands of Zimbabwe's Eastern Highlands support unique high-altitude wildlife communities. Hwange, Mana Pools and Matusadona are among the spectacular wildlife reserves which lure ecotourists. The Zambezi is Africa's fourth largest river, rising in north-eastern Zambia and spilling into the Indian Ocean on the Mozambique coast.
Matetsi Safari Lodge lies within the 50 000 hectare 'Unit 7' of the extensive Matetsi Safari Area. This tract of lowland savanna and miombo woodland is primarily a trophy hunting zone. Employment opportunities for local people are far better at Matetsi Safari Lodge which is open throughout the year, in comparison to the temporary tented camps in the seasonal hunting zones.
Working closely with the Africa Foundation, Matetsi works with lodge staff and communities in nearby Victoria Falls to follow a Wellness programme geared towards developing and maintaining a healthy immune system. Diet, natural vitamins and minerals, and the cultivation of a positive attitude are among the key factors in fighting chronic illness including HIV/Aids.
