An unbelievable display of salads, bread, roasts, fish and cold meats, not to mention traditional South African desserts will have you lingering at the buffet far longer. You'll never walk away hungry at Mabula Game Lodge!

Enjoy a light lunch amidst the call of Grey Loeries on the terrace, retire to the lodge's main Restaurant or savour a scrumptious dinner under the stars in Mabula Game Lodge's traditional Boma dining venue accompanied by the rhythmic beat of traditional African dancers.

For special occasions, there's nothing more magical than dining under the stars at one of Mabula's legendary bush dinners; the flickering lights, the sounds of the African wilderness, traditional South African cuisine with great company creating an unique dining experience.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewgood

The overall stay was good and enjoyed the food. Tranquility that I needed. The issue with the game drives was that I was allocated a vehicle that had a faulty radio and the ranger was unable to communicate with fellow rangers but only receive communication from them. First morning drive, the ranger did not have a remote to open the gates to cross over to the lion camp to and from, and we had to wait for another vehicle to open the gates form us, which ate our game drive time. Second morning drive, the ranger was borrowed a remote for the gates but there were no blankets or ponchos (I would have brought my jacket if I was notified prior that blankets were given to another vehicle and won't be available) in the vehicle and had to bare the cold wind. This was disappointing considering that I had splendid game drives with no issues in my previous visits to the lodge. Management of game drive vehicles requires improvement to ensure that all vehicles are equipped with functioning equipment and have the necessary accessories for all visitors to receive the same service, not animal farm service.
