Accommodation near Mabalingwe Nature Reserve
Mabalingwe Nature Reserve nestles in the shadow of the majestic Waterberg Mountains, 38 km west of Bela Bela, in the Limpopo province. Bela Bela is situated in the Springbok Flats, 112 km North of Pretoria and enjoys a sub-tropical climate with an average of 265 sunny days a year.
The park itself is spread over 12 500 ha and is rich in animal life, including Africa's "Big 5". It also houses a large variety of antelope, hippo, giraffe, hyena, warthog, small game and a very diverse bird population.
The reserve started out as a maize and game farm of just 2141 ha in 1972, belonging to the Wessels family. It was later developed and animal life introduced, transforming it into the internationally well-known nature reserve it is today.
The reserve offers a number of recreational activities for guests to enjoy, including game drives, bird drives, lion feeding drives and horseback safaris. After an exciting day of discovery in the bush you can relax with a superb meal in the excellent onsite restaurant, sipping cocktails against the backdrop of the setting sun and listening to nocturnal calls of the wild.
Mabalingwe Nature Reserve invites you to live the African experience!
