Located just two hours from Johannesburg in the heart of the Mabula Private Game Reserve, our lodge spans over 10,000 hectares of unspoiled landscapes and thriving wildlife. With a rich history and a commitment to conservation and community, Mabula offers guests an authentic connection to South Africa’s diverse ecosystems and extraordinary wildlife.
At Mabula Game Lodge, we believe that the African wilderness is more than a destination—it’s an experience that touches the soul and creates memories to last a lifetime.
