Mabula Game Lodge

A nice lodge and experience! I took my 9yr old daughter here for two days. We had a lovely time and stay. The game drives were good and we saw everything there was to see except Leopard/cheetah. Some amazing experiences and sightings. The lodge is clean and tidy and staff generally friendly and helpful. It was luckily fairly quiet At the start of our stay there, so the usual buffet was not catered, meaning that breakfast and supper was generally a la carte instead of the buffet. A la carte was good. The second day was busier and the buffet re-started. The buffet itself is good, but not exquisite. As buffets go it was nice and a good selection of different types of food and ingredients. Good selection of salads and desserts. The highlight was the made-to-order hotplate: one day was stir-fry and the next fajitas. You choose the ingredients you want in a bowl and the sauce you’d like and the chef cooks it up on a tepanyaki style hot plate. Both times this was delicious! Game drivers were friendly and attentive and knowledgable! Very determined to try and see lots of things including both the elephants and lions (in different areas). We also took the horse-back safari. Was 1.5hrs on a horse. We ended up 7m/20ft from a family of 3 rhinos. Is safe as the rhinos see you as horse, not a person. What an amazing highlight being so close to these amazing creatures! A shame the alcoholic beverage on the afternoon drive is charged to room afterwards and not included!

Nice weekend away with family. Game Drives excellent, food and room was good. Very friendly staff.

Went for a relaxing weekend away and got exactly that. Would have liked some chairs to use out side the unit to soak up the sun and the relaxed surroundings

Stay was good. Room was not up to standard

Great trip

We had an amazing time at Mabula. Enjoyed the game drives around the reserve. Will definitely be back.

What an amazing time, the food,the service and the game drives were just top of class. Before coming to Mabula we were in Botswana and I can honestly say that you are a world class facility with outstanding food and service. We will be back....

Phenomenal game viewing experience - the baby rhinos were a particular highlight! Lovely restaurant and pool area, and the spa is a bonus.

The staff was very helpful and friendly, they made our stay there feel like home. We enjoyed all the food and there was plenty of food. I will go back again for sure.

The location is amazing. However, we found the place a bit tired and need of a makeover. It's not a suitable venue for couples...it's very family friendly.
