Mabula Game Lodge

Only 2 short hours drive North of Johannesburg lies the African wonder that is Mabula Private Game Reserve. This 12,000 hectares of malaria-free reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife and birds, including the world famous Big 5.

Morning and evening game drives are daily highlights, surpassed in pleasure only by the feeling of camaraderie in sipping sundowners as you watch a truly spectacular African sunset from the luxury of one of Mabula's 4x4 game viewing vehicles. Mabula's informative bush walks guided by a highly professional and experienced game ranger will impress you beyond expectation.

For the wild-at-heart seeker of true bush adventure, nothing could compare with the excitement and thrill of big game viewing on horseback - a deliciously unique close encounter of the wildest kind.

If you are, however, looking for a truly unique game viewing experience, then you will be sure not to pass up the opportunity of viewing the Big 5 from a hot air balloon.

Set against a backdrop of lush green mountainous vegetation, exclusive accommodation in air-conditioned luxury thatched chalets with en-suite bathrooms offer guests complete comfort and relaxation in a beautiful natural setting.

Splendid African style decor through the use of wood, cane, natural stone, animal print fabrics, as well as terracotta, green and earthy colours, leaves an ever-lasting first impression.
