Mabalingwe Nature Reserve

 
 

Description

Rich in bird and wildlife, including Africa’s Big 5, it is here where nature has united to create the perfect paradise on earth. Spread over more than 12500 ha of malaria-free, unspoilt bushveld, Mabalingwe Nature Reserve nestles in the shadow of the majestic Waterberg Mountains.

There are a number of recreational activities to be found. After a memorable day of activities, relax with a superb meal in the restaurant. Enjoy cocktails against the backdrop of the setting sun and listen to the nocturnal calls of the wild.

From game and bird drives to lion feeding drives and horse back safaris, a large variety of activities are available. Guests are also allowed to enter the game viewing area with their own vehicles, ensuring that you have maximum time to search for Africa’s Big 5.

The service and friendliness of the staff combined with the wonder of the wild, will ensure you leave Mabalingwe with unforgettable memories. Mabalingwe Nature Reserve is a haven created for you, whether you need a break, a holiday, a conference or a venue for your private or company function.

What originally started as a maize and game farm in 1972, belonging to the Wessels family, has now become the internationally well-known Mabalingwe Nature Reserve. At the Tshukudu Restaurant and Kanniedood Ladies Bar you can choose from a variety of delicious meals and drinks. Relax with a cocktail in the Kanniedood Ladies Bar and snack on light meals while overlooking the WP Wessels Dam, or enjoy culinary delights in the African atmosphere of the Tshukudu Restaurant. Two ATM machines are available as well as petrol and diesel at the main gate.
