You cannot shake the feeling that you’ve arrived in paradise once you set foot in Mabula Game Reserve. This private game reserve in the malaria free Waterberg region (nearest city is Bela-Bela), nestles against a lush backdrop of densely vegetated mountain slopes, encompassing varied vegetation zones within a protected area in excess of 12 000 ha.
Although the Big 5 is the premier drawcard for most visitors to Mabula, the staff here pride themselves in exposing guests to an abundance of smaller mammals, birds and reptiles. Mabula Game Reserve achieves this through the numerous outdoor activities offered to their guests, allowing visitors to get as close to nature as one can without immediate danger.
Horse trails through this woodland savannah of Mabula Game Reserve are especially rewarding. Guided bush walks, day or night game viewing safaris and star gazing are but a few of the options allowing you an insider’s peek into an unspoiled world brimming with untold natural wonders. Facilities are world-class, with luxurious accommodation provided within a scenic and natural setting.
The focus is on creating a family-friendly environment, and visitors will be spoilt for choice with everything from helicopter transfers, a hippo viewing deck and shops, to quality cuisine and a reptile centre. Although summer temperatures may red-line well into the forties, winter visits will require you to pack the requisite cold weather gear.
