Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge is the ideal placed to take that perfect once-in-a-lifetime wildlife or African sunset photograph.

Animal Encounters

Guests frequently comment on the spectacular amount of wildlife and birdlife that is often unmatched by previous game viewing or birding experiences. This is largely due to the diversity of the surrounding vegetation, the riverine forest and open plains.

Two game drives take place daily in open game viewing vehicles. Your game ranger and tracker operate as a close-knit team. Animals aside, here is a chance to learn about the complex ecosystem and medicinal uses of plants.

Gourmet Bush Dining

Breakfast is served after your morning safari and ranges from eggs to bacon, tomatoes, fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurts, cheese and toast with home-made bread. Lunch at the Lodge is served under a large Acacia tree and includes salads, cold dishes and freshly baked bread and dessert.

Dinners are notably memorable and are served outdoors around a blazing campfire, with the possibility of game viewing from the plains. Cape wines accompany your meal. Typically you can expect to be served a starter, with a South African inspired main course, followed by a spectacular dessert.

Wildlife Photography

Keep your camera on hand at all times. Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge is the ideal placed to take that perfect once-in-a-lifetime wildlife or African sunset photograph. During this intimate safari experience in the Balule Private Game Reserve you may very well never again witness so much wildlife all in one place - or as close up!

Relaxing

Whether soaking up the sun in the pool or reading in a hammock, there is a skill to indulging in the fine art of doing next to nothing at this intimate safari experience in the Balule Private Game Reserve. Other guests get their nature fix sipping cocktails beneath a tree while keeping their eyes fixed on animals at a waterhole as there is always something to catch your eye...

Additional Activities

At Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge the neighbouring Shangaan Cultural Village is well worth a visit, as is Moholoholo Animal Sanctuary. Something that will interest the golfers is the close proximity of Drakensig Golf Club. Some guests choose to visit the scenic Drakensberg Mountains and the equally spectacular Blyde River Canyon, where many embark on a sunrise hot air balloon safari.
