Mabula Game Lodge is located two and a half hours from Johannesburg. Here you can watch the big five in 12,000 hectares of malaria-free reserve in the beautiful Limpopo Province, whilst enjoying Mabula’s unique array of wildlife and adventure activities. Your safari experience includes the opportunity to dine in the bush – either breakfast with spectacular views of the Waterberg Mountains of dinner under the magnificent spread of an ancient fig tree. Home to the famous Ground Hornbill breeding project, an interesting and informative reptile centre and eighteen specialised game activities, you’ll never be short of something unusual to experience.

Set against a backdrop of lush green mountainous vegetation, Mabula Game Lodge is set in one of South Africa's finest private game reserves.

Exclusive accommodation is provided in our 47 rooms including 3 suites that offer guests every comfort in a scenic natural setting.

Accommodation

Forty-seven bedrooms boast a look that is clean, simple, elegant and follows an African flavour. Natural, bold colours stand confident and proud, enhancing an ethnic feel throughout the lodge. Furnishings and mirrors are a deep Imbuia wood, complemented by rich textures in the fabrics and blinds, whilst ethnic art dramatically showcases the walls of the bedroom.
