Tony & Alma invite you to experience the magic of Mohlabetsi. Situated in the vast Balule Nature Reserve which is part of the Greater Kruger National Park, this is Africa at its very best!
With a choice of two small, intimate Lodges, guests are assured of comfort and unobtrusive attentiveness, combined with an intimacy with nature. Come and be especially close to the African Spirit here | |
|
The Lodge is easily accessible, yet one enters an entirely different world once within the camp. Life slows down to the rhythms of nature and the rising and setting of the sun dictates our movements. The emphasis here is upon close-up encounters with Africa’s spectacular wildlife, from the mighty elephant, the impressive lion or the miniscule termite | |
The many creatures that have made Mohlabetsi their home invite you to join them in their world. We will respond to your booking enquiry promptly and would love to welcome you to our Lodge! Our hospitable staff is on hand to ensure a stay to be savoured and remembered forever.
We are in the heart of the vast Balule Nature Reserve which is incorporated into the Greater Kruger National Park. This area is home to an array of spectacular wildlife, including the “Big Five”. World famous for its abundance of animal, bird and reptile life, we have sighted over 30 mammal species, 220 different kinds of birds and a dazzling variety of reptiles, insects and plants. (See our list of species sighted here).
The area is typical wooded savannah, with marula, knobthorn and leadwood trees predominant. As the rainfall is generally low, waterholes become focus points, especially in winter. Animals are largely territorial, so we are assured of excellent sightings during our safari activities.
We conduct game drives in especially modified Land Rovers, renowned for their comfort and reliability. As the vehicles are open, you are assured of excellent all-round visibility, as well as the excitement of meeting Africa’s Big Five close up with nothing between you! The Bush takes on a different aspect when on foot. Your experienced ranger will take you walking if you so wish. Feel the exhilaration of stalking animals, finding new birds or learning the ways of the Baboon Spider.
Meals are a culinary delight! Romantic dinners are served around the fire in the reeded Boma or on the lawn under the stars. Fresh local ingredients are used and many of our condiments and herbs are produced here at the Lodge. The accent is on typical South African country fare, with dishes to suit all palates. Special requests are handled with pleasure!

This 4 star camp is a green oasis is the Bush. There are only six African rondawels, ensuring the luxury of a small and intimate camp. The Lodge is newly renovated and offers a wonderful base for your Safaris. Each rondawel is twin or double bedded, with en-suite facilities and a marvellous al fresco shower. | |

Your stay here would probably follow this routine:
Arrive here after an easy drive to a warm welcome and cold drink. Lunch is served on the lawns in the shade of an acacia tree, with a view over a well frequented waterhole. In the late afternoon, arm yourself with binoculars and cameras and set off with your ranger in an open Land Rover. |
Follow bush roads through our reserve, using all of your senses to find the animals. We stop for everything of interest, possibly the spoor of hunting lions or a herd of dazzling zebras. We stop at a vantage point as the sun goes down and the day turns swiftly to night, to enjoy sundowner drinks and snacks
An attentive staff keeps the camp neat and tidy and you need bring only your food and drinks if on a self-catering stay. Or take the camp with the luxury of full catering and we will do the cooking! Enjoy a traditional South African “braaivleis” around the fire and enjoy breakfasts with a tremendous view of animals at the waterhole.

Your own private Lodge! Enjoy the pleasure of this small camp with family and friends on a self-catering or fully catered option. All the amenities are here to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable stay in this three star establishment. With four comfortable rooms under thatch and a rustic “Ranger’s Room”, the Lodge accommodates up to 10 guests. | |
|
There is a central kitchen, a lapa with a superb view over a waterhole, as well as a sparkling pool with a wonderful braai area, ideal for sitting around log fires in the evening, reliving the highlights of your safaris. The Lodge has a wonderful relaxing ambiance and the highlights of the day may be a herd of elephants slurping water out of the reservoir or a pair of gymnogenes wheeling in the thermals above you. | | |
