Reviews from previous guests
“The whole trip was great. Staff were out of this world and super friendly. All facilities were incredibly clean and I felt very safe in terms of the current pandemic. Shout out to my man Liam, the best game ranger Mabula have by far. Incredibly knowledgeable and super passionate about his career. He taught me so much and went out his way to help us see all the animals. Give that guy a promotion!” wrote eawinston on their TripAdvisor page.
violetmakgato added; “Really great place with equally great staff that offer the best service. Rooms were perfectly ventilated and clean. Mabula is a little haven tucked away in the mountains. Lovely place, will definitely recommend to family and friends. It’s even better that all this is not too badly priced. Awesome experience.”
“The experience was truly fantastic! The friendliness of the staff, the delicious buffet meals, the beautiful cosy rooms, the adventurous game drives all make this game lodge a must visit!! And given its proximity, this is without a doubt the best game lodge close to Johannesburg. The staff truly go out of their way to make your experience memorable. Thank you Mabula for a wonderful experience! I am definitely returning!” said Compass638808.
