  07 January 2013

  "The facilties are great and the staff friendly, however,you cannot walk outside the fence. At many places you are allowed to walk, if you keep to the roads. Will not go to a place where walking is not allowed. They should tell people that driving and walking on you own is not allowed, but I guess they want to charge you for everything. Overall I will not recommend the place for these reasons."

  "We had fabulous weekend. It was just very cold and I believe it will be a great place to go in the summer months. The service from the Camp attendants was of the highest standard. Thanks again for a fantastic weekend."

  "What a weekend, this is what we needed and Camp Mabula gave us what we needed -the rest without any disturbance, and our two dogs loved it as well. I will go to Camp Mabula again in a heartbeat."

• "Jack and Leighs Visit to Mabula with our two dogs"

  11 June 2012

  "The camp was perfect for what we wanted to do, chill and relax, go out on our mountain bikes through the bush with our dogs. We had the perfect little spot for our camp trailer. The camp was very quiet, and most of all it felt safe too, would return in the future without a doubt. Facitlities were very clean and the camp well kept, well done Johannes the camp caretaker. Thanks Andre for your help with our dogs, very much appreciated."

  28 May 2012

  "Spent the weekend at Camp Mabula, this was a return visit after a year and a bit. Will not wait so long again for the next visit. The very best top-class, all-round bushveld experience one can have, and at an affordable price. Can be recommended anytime. The management and staff are all to be commended on their manner of providing customer service, nothing's too much for them! Thank you to Andre and Hannes for for a lovely weekend. Hope to see you all soon again. Thank you, Norton, Marianne and James."

• "Outstanding!"

  10 January 2012

  "Baie dankie aan Andre en Burt en al die personeel vir 'n vakansie wat uit die boonste rakke was. Ons is van ons aankoms tot met ons vertrek absoluut van ons voete afgehaal deur die vriendelikheid, die diens en die gasvryheid. Dis iets wat min plekke julle kan nadoen. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier. Ons het dit verskriklik baie geniet. Weereens baie dankie! Thank you to Andre and Burt and all the staff for a topnotch holiday. We were blown away from arrival until departure due to the incredible friendliness, service and hospitality received. I think few places can rival your place. We will definitely be visiting again. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you once again for a great stay."

  04 August 2011

  "Andre, you and your team are the most amazing people I have met in my time of doing teambuilding and leadership training in South Africa. The group really enjoyed your hosptality and I loved the comfort of my own room. I cannot wait to get back to Camp Mabula with another group. You for sure are the best holiday destination for business and leisure ever in South Africa. I will be back for sure. Monica"

  "Ek wil net baie dankie se vir die uitstenkende diens wat ons by kamp Mabula gekry het. Andre het vir ons gratis verblyf in die lodge gegee met gratis aandete en ontbyt. Baie dankie dit was die perfekte afsluiting vir ons kampeer vakansie! Ek sal Kamp Mabula voorwaar by my vriende aan beveel. I just want to say thank you very much for the excellent service we received from Camp Mabula. Andre gave us some free accommodation and breakfast and dinner.

  20 June 2011

  "Firstly 10 out of 10 for Babette and Johan. You are great people. Thank you, babette, for going out of your way to accommodate us. Especially for the delicious braai packs and pap and sauce. If it wasn't for you we would have gone to bed hungry. The camp is beautiful thanks to Johan's hard work. You will definitely see us again, with our children. It was wonderful and peaceful and exactky what was needed for a weekend getaway. Thanks again. Eerstens 10 uit 10 vir Babette en Johan...julle is great mense en dankie Babette dat jy uit jou pad uit gegaan het om ons te akkommodeer met braaipakkies en lekker pap en sous. Was dit nie vir jou nie het ons honger gaan slaap. Die kamp is pragtig te danke aan Johan se harde tuinwerk. Julle gaan ons beslis weer sien dan bring ons die kroos saam. Dit is wonderlik rustig en presies wat mens nodig het vir 'n naweek wegbreek. Nogmaals baie dankie."

• "Christmas getaway"

  02 January 2011

  "The stay that we have experienced at Camp Mabula is one of, if not the best, stay we had. It was relaxing and overall we had a great peaceful break. The staff at the camp that we met was the friendliest by far. They made the experience even better, as they were always in a good mood and we got to know them. The camp itself was great, well set up and hidden away, which was what we were looking for. Camp Mabula and its staff did not make us feel as if we were in a lodge but rather at hom ... more"

• "Camp Mabula visit by members of the Dendrological Socoety"

  30 September 2010

  "On your website you create the impression that Camp Mabula is part of the 9000ha Safari Lands Reserve.I wonder if this is true.I was also disappointed by the fact that no self driving is allowed on the 1 000ha Mabula portion. I am therefore curious to know whether access to Safari Lands is actually available. Being a dendrologist the 9000ha advertisment convinced me to do a reservation, just to find out that it is very misleading.I therefore suggest you recify your information on ... more"

• "Bushveld weekend"

  26 July 2010

  "We arrived on Friday night around 18h30 and were immediately welcomed by Johan and taken to our log cabin. We were very surprised with the cleanliness of both the bathrooms and toilets, as well as the cabins. It was lovely waking up in the bushveld with the twittering of birds and the warm welcome of the sun, especially since it was still winter time - late July!"

• "Thank you very much! "

  10 July 2010

• "What a lovely place."

  01 June 2010

  "Everything is clean, toilets are spotless and very attractive. Kitchen has every facility one would need. Accommodation is cosy, cute and desirable. The gardens are large and very attractive. This is the perfect place if you want really good value for money. On a small budget you can get good value.You must bring your own tea/coffee, & if you want a private kettle. The owners are friendly and very helpful. I rate the security, friendliness and cleanliness as 100%. I would definitely return again for the peace and good value. Margaret Rawicz"

  23 March 2010

  "Thank you Johan & Babette for the nice weekend. We have enjoyed our family get-together and enjoyed the facilities and the warm atmosphere.Pity that all amenities in the ad on the website are not available to use and that it is more than 300 km from Pretoria and not the 235 km mentioned.But no harm done, the whole experience and environment made up for it.We will definitely return for another visit.Hopefully the giraffes will then make themselves visible.Thank you very much"

• "Camp Mabula"

  28 September 2009

  "Upon arrival we were welcomed by a very friendly Johann and his wife. The camp was what we expected it to be and the staff was friendly and helpful. The ablution facilities were clean and the camp is well maintained in general.The wood cabins require attention but we were told that the camp will be upgraded and revamped completely in the near future. My only complaint is that the cabins only have single bed options - double bed options would be nice."

• "Thanks Camp Mabula Staff you were great!!!!!"

  23 July 2009

  "During my stay at Camp Mabula, I received the warmest welcome from everyone!They really made me feel right at home, and because I was the only person in the camp during my stay, the Care taker and his lovely wife really took the time to make life as comfortable for me as possible. They even gave me my own Kettle, coffee, suger & milk, just so I did not have to leave my room at night, should I feel like a cup of coffe. My overall stay at Camp Mabula was one of the few experiences in life that I will remember for many years to come. I will most certainly return to the Camp soon, but this time it will not just be me, but my WHOLE family. The experience is something any and everyone should try, before they dont have the opportunity.I hope the garden survives the wild;-) "

• "Bushmen Camp"

  05 February 2007

  "We had a great time at the bushmen camp. The accommodation was much nicer than we expected and very private. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the food was good. The game drive was informative, with lots of interesting stories from the ranger. Unfortunately, the animals were very skittish so we never saw them really close. We also went walking in the reserve but never saw any animals for the same reason which was a pity. It would be a perfect place in winter as it was very hot when we went. However, the advantage was that we were on our own in the camp."
