The basics
Why, when, and where.
Why
Mabula Game Reserve provides an unrivalled safari experience that caters to everyone with more than 12000 hectares of pristine, malaria-free "Big Five" wilderness.
A veritable hive of activities offering such bush experiences as horseback safaris, quad bike safaris, and guided bush walks. Keen birders will enjoy the regular birding safaris or walks, spotting such species as the Amur Falcon, Lilac-breasted Roller, and Red-crested Korhaan, while guided bush walks provide the perfect setting in which to follow animal tracks, identify plants and insects and spot some of the area’s most beautiful birdlife. For a more unique offering, experience the Hot Air Balloon activity.
Picnic breakfasts or afternoon bush barbecues including safari drives can be arranged, as well as dam picnics and the Madjuma Experience that takes visitors into the lion section of Mabula Game Reserve at night to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, and perhaps even witness a hunt. This is a 1.5-hour drive. Learn all about the common constellations in our night sky and the myths and legends surrounding them through your Ranger.
