Stayed one night here on a recent visit to South Africa. Accommodation is good, stayed in one of the lodges. Restaurant is pretty basic and buffet for breakfast, lunch and evening meal was ok but nothing to get excited about. Staff are lovely, friendly and service overall was quite good, but not top notch. Maybe expecting too much for an... More

I had a very bad experience in Mabula Game Lodge last March . I had been there for 2 nights and to my great surprise somebody has taken 1800 US$ from the safety box in my room. As the staff knew exactly what time you leave the room for safaris and what time you'll be back , they have enough... More

I stayed at Mabula several years ago while traveling the earth and it was an excellent experience. During my stay the animals were quite active which led to excitement and stories that I will never forget.

My husband and I were looking forward to a lovely weekend with my family at Mabula, our first weekend in this timeshare for an experience in the bush. Unfortunately our unit wasn't clean on arrival, but was attended to once the housekeeper came to ask if everything was ok. The highlight of our weekend was the highly enjoyable game drive... More

After a hectic week of meetings a friend and I had a couple of days R&R at Mabula. A bit less small and exclusive than we had hoped but great value for money. The rooms were OK, the food was really good and the staff was really friendly and helpful. Twice a day game drives are offered in large open... More

Upon arrival to the reserve, in the dark, we checked into the front desk and was given a "map" to get to our time share cottage, which is very separate from the hotel . This process took us through the complete wilderness, lost in the South African reserve, along dirt paths, in absolute blackness, with little or hidden directional signs,... More

We have just spent an 8th weekend in our lovely unit! Our unit has 4 ensuite bedrooms, which are airconditioned. The lovely swimming pool was an ideal place to cool off, especially during February, which is normally very warm. We booked and went on a standard game drive, starting at 05h30 on Saturday morning.
