Animals one can expect to see include buffalo, giraffe, kudu, eland, nyala, zebra, red hartebeest, blue wildebeest, bushbuck, impala, warthog, duiker, steenbok. Night drives are also the perfect opportunity to see some of the nocturnal animals like leopard, aardvark, bushbabies and brown hyena.Guided bush walks: While on a walk in the bush we concentrate more on the things one tend to miss on a gamedrive. Our guides are very knowledgable about the trees, birds, insects and smaller reptiles and will share with guests stories and interesting facts about the bush and it's inhabitants.
Birdwatching: Matlabas Game Lodge is the ideal place for the bird enthusiasts with over 200 recorded species in the area. We have blinds at the waterholes where one can spend hours on end looking at the varied birdlife, as well as the animals that come in for a drink.
Hunting: Hunting on the property can be undertaken any time of the year although it is for the most part restricted to the colder months, starting in April and ending in October. All hunting activities are undertaken through Matlabas Game Hunters and must be booked in advance.
Target shooting: Our resident Professional Hunter, Flippie Frost, will take you through the art of shooting with a rifle or bow & arrow. A 100m rifle shooting range and an archery shooting range is within close walking distance of the lodge.
Breakfast, brunch or dinner out in the bush: Enjoy truly South African cooking in the surroundings of the African bush. The sights, sounds and smells of the outdoors will enliven any meal.
Swimming pool: Our swimming pool is the ideal place to spend time between other activities on a hot summer's day. Nestled between some umbrella-thorn trees, it is the perfect spot to relax.
