More About Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge
Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge is a newly renovated, four-star lodge which offers comfortable accommodation to a maximum of 20 guests. The Balule reserve consists largely of wooded savannah and the wildlife is diverse and plentiful. It boasts 30 mammal species and around 220 different kinds of birds. The reserve is in the western part of the Greater Kruger National Park and spans 35 000ha with the perennial Olifants River flowing for about 20km through the centre of the reserve.
The lodge is positioned in a cool glade of trees, near the fence with Tshukudu Game Lodge. Whilst relaxing in the thatched lapa or at the bar, one looks out onto open plains and a distant waterhole, with the impressive Drakensberg escarpment as backdrop.
The individual rondavels are attractively decorated with an ethnic theme. Each rondavel has an en-suite bathroom with an inside and outside shower. One of the rooms is wheelchair friendly. The rooms all have insect proofing on the windows and electric ceiling fans (no air-conditioning). The family units have interleading doors, and are ideal for families.
Meals at Mohlabetsi are excellent with the lodge having won the Good Food Accolade by the Portfolio Retreats collection. Meals are served in the boma (reeded enclosure) under a wide African starry sky or out on the cool lawns under the trees.
Guests can enjoy an early morning and late afternoon/evening game drive in an open off-road vehicle, led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides and trackers. In addition to sharing their knowledge of the African bush and its creatures, the guides at Mohlabetsi are equipped to show you the wonders of the sky with the help of laser pointers and large telescopes, a star gazing treat!
Mohlabetsi is a great choice for safari enthusiasts looking for a reasonably priced, intimate lodge. The staff are friendly and welcoming and will go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one. The lodge can easily be reached by road from Johannesburg (5 hour trip, no 4x4 needed) or by air to Hoedspruit airport, followed by a half hour road transfer.
