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.
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.
Back at the Lodge, the campfire is blazing, heralding a romantic dinner in the boma. Dinners are a social affair, with guests mingling with their hosts as they enjoy fireside cuisine with an African influence. Tasty starters are accompanied by our famous “pot brood”, freshly baked in a cast iron pot nestled in the coals. There is always a poultry dish as well as a traditional meat meal for main course and one of these dishes is always cooked over the fire. Desserts are usually a fruit flambé, prepared with much fanfare as the chef disappears behind a wall of flame! During the warmer summer evenings, we serve candlelit dinners under the stars.
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.
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.
The daily programme includes a morning foot safari and an evening game drive and these exciting excursions are included in the rate.
This Lodge offers you all the privacy and flexibility that you need for an unforgettable sojourn in the bush.
Please note that this Lodge is booked in its entirety for privacy and solitude. On a fully catered option, the minimum number of guests is six.
