WHY SAFARI WITH US
Our Story
Having travelled extensively throughout Southern Africa and even East Africa, we still view the lowveld and Greater Kruger region as being home. There is a magic to this place and an offering which is unique among other wilderness areas. We still spend much of our time in the Kruger National Park and we want nothing more than for other people to experience one of the world’s truly spectacular places, the way that we have been fortunate to experience it.
The history of the region and the wildlife make it a truly special place and there is no better way to experience it, than to head out into the vastness of the park and take it all in.

At our core, we believe travel should be meaningful. It should awaken curiosity, inspire appreciation for nature, and create lasting memories. Through Matumi Destinations, we aim to share the magic of the Greater Kruger the way we know it, authentic, wild, and unforgettable.
what our guests say
Terrific experience!
A huge thank you to Armandt our game drive guide who went over, above and beyond to show us 4 of the big 5 today, plus other game and bird species. Well done Armandt, it was a terrific experience especially sighting the leopards at the end!
Depth of knowledge!
I’ve had the pleasure of booking several safaris with Matumi Travels over the last two years, and each experience has been amazing. As a biologist, I truly appreciate the depth of knowledge their guides have about the bush, wildlife, and ecosystems. They are not only professional but also incredibly friendly, with a great sense of humor. They make every moment enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend Matumi Travels for anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience in Kruger National Park and Greater Kruger!
Incredible team!
I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy several game drives with Matumi in Pridelands and The Kruger National Park. Every trip has been filled with sightings from dung beetles to elephants!! Their knowledge and passion for all creatures, not just the Big 5, is why I love them so much!!
Amazing experience!
I have been in Africa for over 7 years running a charity in the conservation space. I take my hat off to this team for being so professional, personable, knowing their duty, and having the utmost respect for the wildlife and ecosystems they are able to teach people about. Highly recommend this team!
