Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge

Jacques & Nina and their colleagues warmly welcome guests to their relaxing and friendly oasis in the bush. Set in the vast Balule Nature Reserve, this is home to a superb variety of fauna and flora, including the legendary Big 5.

Our guides bring guests up close to nature on game drives and foot safaris. Their experience and enthusiasm make these trips unforgettable. We offer comfortable thatched rondawels with outdoor showers; they are decorated in an African theme.

Unwind during the heat of the day around a sparkling swimming pool or in the shade of the lapa, under giant acacia trees. Romantic dinners under the stars, often punctuated by the roaring of lions and the whooping of hyenas. Enjoy the cosy atmosphere of the boma, dining around a campfire or, on warmer nights, out on the open plain in front of the lodge. We are easily accessible by road or by daily flights from Johannesburg.

"Although advertised as children friendly, this was not a major feature. The connecting rooms were good and food good for adults."
