DescriptionA great deal has been written about Africa, it's animals and the bush experience.
Nothing can, however equal the vivid memories of having lived the MABALINGWE experience.
No stress, no malaria, no pollution and days spent at MABALINGWE are a reminder of some of life's forgotten pleasures.
MABALINGWE is the perfect "all year round big five experience". Spread over more than 12 500 hectares of soft rolling hills, this malaria-free reserve is host to the big 5, and also hippo, giraffe, hyena and sable to name but a few of the 36 species of wildlife. For the bird lovers there are more than 250 species of bird to be spotted. Mabalingwe offers affordable accommodation from self-catering chalets to en-suite lodge rooms and rustic bush camps. Enjoy game viewing from open safari vehicles or atop the ambling gait of the horses, with sleepovers at the various bush camps. For the more energetic there are a number of hiking trails on offer.
In our tradition of 'something for everyone' there are a number of recreational activities to be found, or great fun to be held on one of the tennis courts or the squash court. After a memorable day of activities, relax with a superb meal in the Tshukudu restaurant, and then sipping cocktails against the backdrop of the setting sun, listening to nocturnal calls of the wild.
The service and friendliness of the staff combined with the wonder of the wild will ensure you leave Mabalingwe with unforgettable memories and the realization that you are indeed 'richer' for partaking in this breathtaking experience. Accommodation
The Lodge
The Tlou Lodge is made up of 53 stylish chalets, accommodates a total of 106 visitors and is the ideal "getaway" home for those not wishing to be involved in anything more than nature and its animal life.
Two sleeper lodge rooms
The fully inclusive two bed standard lodge rooms are stylishly and comfortably furnished and consist of an en-suite bathroom. All rooms are equipped with phone, television facilities and coffee & tea station.
The lodge units are situated in close proximity to our state of the art conference facility, central sports area and convenience shop.
Three bedroom self-catering units
The Tlou camp also consists of nine six bed self-catering luxury units, equipped with state of the art kitchen appliances.
The six bed self-catering units consist of three en-suite bedrooms, each equipped with phone, mini bar (optional), television facilities and coffee & tea station. The fully equipped kitchen also consists of microwave, 320L fridge/freezer and patio with braai facilities. Chalets There are five thatched camps stretching from Kubu Camp at the northern tip to the southernmost Ingwe Camp situated next to the main Mabalingwe camp buildings.
The dwellings on all five of these camps are self-catering chalets complete with lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Amongst other features of each building is the patio and braai area from where the visitor to the resort is able to enjoy some of the Limpopo Province's most remarkable sunsets!
The four and six bed chalets provide the traveller with "home from home" comforts and whether it's a summer or winter visit Mabalingwe has got to be judged as the perfect "all year" round experience. Bush Camps Pitsi Bush Camp
Pitsi Bush Camp caters for a group of ten people, hidden away from the rest of the camps on the reserve, and for those who feel the need for ultimate privacy and a great bush experience, this camp is definately a must.
With electricity in the camp, this bush retreat is fully equipped and has hot and cold running water and a splash pool to make use of in the heat of summer.
A minimum stay of two nights is required when booking and it should be noted that the quoted tariff excludes organised game drives around the reserve.
Kalahari Bush Camp
Kalahari Tented Camp is privately situated at the foot of the mountains rolling through Mabalingwe, and was developed for family and group getaways.
With 5 tents connected with a wooden walk way, you can experience luxury and still cater for yourself. The camp consists of five luxury twin bedded tents with en-suite bathroom, fridge, coffee/tea station, electricity and is joined with a wooden deck walkway. All five tents are hidden between lush Bushveld trees and private from each other. The central, fully equipped kitchen and lapa is situated at the end of the walkway and is easily accessible.
A central kitchen, lapa and ablution facilities are available in very close proximity. Caravan Parks It has been said that the caravan park at Mabalingwe is the ultimate place where caravans come face to face with nature.
Fully tarred access roads make arriving at the camp a sheer pleasure. And once in, the park offers 65 exclusive and generously shaded stands allowing the caravanner and his family ample space to park and relax.
The beautifully land-scaped and grassy stands make outdoor living a pleasure and the campsite is well equipped with power points. A primary and proud feature of the camp is its superb ablution blocks which are fully serviced on a daily basis.
Of particular note are the modern scullery, a tuck shop and a thatched lapa, all available to satisfy the needs of our guests.
And for those who need some of life's more modern amenities the campsite's recreation includes satellite television while the younger folk won't fail to enjoy the kiddie's playground and heated swimming pool.
NOTE: Caravan park visitors to the reserve should note that the stand hire fee also includes use of all other facilities in the reserve. * FacilitiesConference Set in the heart of the bushveld, and less than 2 hours drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, Mabalingwe has become renowned as the perfect location for private functions as well as corporate conferences and teambuilding getaways.
