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! ##### chris Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gut organisiertes Safari-Resort Gut organisiertes Resort mit vielfältigem Essensangebot.

Would have liked some chairs to use out side the unit to soak up the sun and the relaxed surroundings ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s209-p504373c0-7f4c-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### graeme Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathalie May 20, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Cadre absolument magnifique et très soigné Du confort au milieu d une immense reserve enorme. Établissement parfaitement organisé très bien décoré et évolué , repas très copieux avec beaucoup de choix avec buffets à tous les repas. Les bémols : pas de wifi dans la chambre et de toute façon wifi payant c est un peu mesquin compte tenu du prix de la nuit. De même obtenir une couverture supplémentaire pour ne pas avoir froid paraissait un vrai souci! ##### Nathalie Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### I C Jan 15, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### My Mabula stay Stay was good.

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.... ##### Pierre Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 30, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect bush getaway Phenomenal game viewing experience - the baby rhinos were a particular highlight! Lovely restaurant and pool area, and the spa is a bonus. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Renata Mar 28, 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### Safari top!!!! Instalações e refeições ok. O que faz a diferença desse hotel é a qualidade dos profissionais nos Safaris é porque a reserva tem os Big 5\. Incrível!!! ##### Renata ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edith, New York Aug 18, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice getaway 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. ##### Edith ### 6/10 Okay #### NICHOLAS RALPH, Johannesburg Jul 7, 2016 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. ##### NICHOLAS RALPH ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ntoma House](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Ntoma-House.h38809165.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Seaside Apartment @ Perna Perna Umdloti](https://www.expedia.ca/Umdloti-Hotels-Perna-Perna-Umdloti.h69823538.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Modimolle-Hotels-Shangri-La-Country-Hotel.h795703.Hotel-Information) > > [SpionKop Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-SpionKop-Lodge.h6273598.Hotel-Information) > > [Santini Village 103](https://www.expedia.ca/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Santini-Village-103.h37647244.Hotel-Information) > > [Mmakuba Private Game Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Mookgopong-Hotels-Mmakuba-Private-Game-Lodge.h107148272.Hotel-Information) > > [Botlierskop Bush Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Bush-Villas.h11941327.Hotel-Information) > > [Danlee Overnight Accomodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Danlee-Overnight-Accomodation.h27251997.Hotel-Information) > > [Lighthouse Guesthouse & Cafe](https://www.expedia.ca/Groblersdal-Hotels-Lighthouse-Guesthouse-Cafe.h19269801.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shark Bay Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Langebaan-Hotels-Shark-Bay-Hotel-Spa.h48397505.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tops](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilderness-Hotels-The-Tops.h42283698.Hotel-Information) > > [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosbok Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Phalaborwa-Hotels-Bosbok-Lodge.h36027048.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Farmhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Langebaan-Hotels-The-Farmhouse-Hotel.h2483665.Hotel-Information) > > [Ledges Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jagersrust-Hotels-Ledges-Retreat.h31484582.Hotel-Information) > > [Mjejane River Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mjejane-River-Lodge.h6504964.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Rafiki Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rafiki-Bush-Lodge.h91839295.Hotel-Information) > > [Accommodation in Addo on Sundays](https://www.expedia.ca/Colchester-Hotels-Accommodation-In-Addo-On-Sundays.h34870738.Hotel-Information) > > [Sky Villa Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Sky-Villa-Boutique-Hotel.h21440957.Hotel-Information) > > [Ukuthula Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Ukuthula-Bush-Lodge.h40271242.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Nkuhlu Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Nkomazi-Hotels-Nkuhlu-Tented-Camp.h95115465.Hotel-Information) > > [Eskulaap Hotel and Conference](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Eskulaap-Hotel-And-Conference.h20796384.Hotel-Information) > > [Marula Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Thabazimbi-Hotels-Marula-Cottage.h14825159.Hotel-Information)
