It was very nice, relaxing and enjoying nature. Really enjoyed the nature and all the animals that walk past the chalet and come to say hello.

Dit was vreeslik lekker, lekker gerus en die natuur geniet. Het die natuur baie geniet en al die diere wat daar verby die chalet loop en kom groet.

Very clean and tidy. Conveniently close to all the facilities. Nice boma. Variety of animals that came to visit us regularly.

Baie skoon en netjies. Gerieflik naby aan al die fasiliteite. Lekker boma. Verskeidenheid van diere wat ons gereeld kom besoek het.

Best place to visit. Rooms were clean, restaurants were the best, as well as the entertainment at the pools. Definitely coming back.

Perfect! The stay was great. Elephant Park was close to the amenities. Network challenges are noted in the communication; however, I didn't think it would be completely out of range. Maybe they could consider WiFi. Good for getting off the grid.

We had a lovely stay. It is in a good location and easy to find. There is no WiFi or phone signal at the unit, which we did not notice on the booking. There is a kitchen; however, it does not have an oven.

Have fun. Not at all as per the photos. Towels were not replaced at all. The mattress is slept in and sleeps hard. The cleaning service only makes the bed and washes the dishes, no toilet or bathroom is touched. DSTV was limited, no shows we watch. Lots of ants in the kitchen, no doom.

Lekker gerus. Glad nie soos per die foto's nie. Handdoeke was glad nie vervang nie. Die matras is uitgeslaap en slaap hard. Die skoonmaakdiens maak slegs die bed op en was skottelgoed, geen toilet of badkamer is aangeraak nie. DSTV was beperk, geen programme wat ons kyk nie. Baie miere in die kombuis, geen doom nie.

Peaceful visit at Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge 267-8. It was very nice, animals came to visit on the front porch every day. Didn't have hot water the first night, but Sonja quickly fixed it. All that bothered was the loadshedding.

Rustige kuier by Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge 267-8 . Dit was baie lekker, diere het elke dag kom kuier op die voorstoep. Het die eerste aand nie warm water gehad nie, maar Sonja het dit sommer vinnig reggestel. Al wat gepla het, was die loadshedding.

Unpleasant. This was our second visit to Mabalingwe and I must say the condition of the roads is poor. The rushing of the staff with their vehicles is unacceptable to me. We were also involved in a situation with a large vehicle from Working on Fire on the narrow road behind the cafe when he came around the blind corner at speed and almost crashed into us! However, the worst situation was the Saturday when there was a lot of noise at the pool until late Saturday afternoon. It was completely like we were at a shebeen so bad was the noise and music. Everything but the peace and quiet that I expect at a place like Mabalingwe. The unavailability of wifi at the unit makes it difficult to communicate. Gas will also have to be looked at as an option as loadshedding makes it impossible to even just make coffee. There was also no barbecue equipment in the unit.

Onaangenaam. Dit was ons tweede besoek aan Mabalingwe en ek moet sê die toestand van die paaie is swak. Die gejaag van die personeel met hulle voertuie is vir my onaanvaarbaar. Ons was ook in 'n situasie betrokke met 'n groot voertuig van Working on Fire op die nou pad agter die kafee toe hy om die blinde draai teen spoed gekom en amper in ons vasgejaag het! Die ergste situasie was egter die Saterdag toe daar 'n groot geraas by die swembad was tot laat Saterdagmiddag. Dit was kompleet asof ons by 'n shebeen was so erg was die lawaai en musiek. Alles behalwe die rus en vrede wat ek verwag by 'n plek soos Mabalingwe. Die onbeskikbaarheid van wifi by die eenheid maak dit moeilik om te kommunikeer. Daar sal ook gekyk moet word na gas as 'n opsie aangesien loadshedding dit onmoontlik maak om selfs net koffie te maak. Daar was ook geen braaitoerusting in die eenheid nie.

Had a really nice stay, the Chalet was clean and tidy when we arrived and we really enjoyed the lapa and the staff were very friendly. . First of all to the website, it is an absolute pleasure to do a booking through you. Everything was handled very well and professionally. Very neat chalet that we will definitely visit again. As mentioned above, the lapa was also neat and in good condition compared to some of the other lapas. Another bonus is that it is walking distance to the shop, pool etc. We did wildlife viewing in our own vehicle which was also very nice and saw a lot of animals. One night there were elephants in the camp which was a very nice experience to watch them from the chalet. The restaurant and bar upstairs at reception are really pleasant and the food was very tasty, as was the bar in the caravan park (also delicious Pizzas in the caravan park). We would really recommend the chalet and Mabalingwe as a whole. The only negative comment I have is the music at the Kalahari Oasis. It was extremely loud and I almost had to shout at the lady to place my order. One of the male staff was also whistling very loudly along with the music and we did not enjoy it there at all. Load shedding remains a frustration and beyond the resort's control and Mabalingwe had an awful lot of load shedding during our time there. Suggest about the elephants to maybe just put a warning on the reservation that they do move through the accommodation area.

Regtig lekker gebly, die Chalet was skoon en netjies met ons aankoms en ons het die lapa baie geniet en die personeel was baie vriendelik. . Eerstens aan die website, dit is absoluut 'n plesier om n bespreking deur julle te doen. Alles was baie goed en professioneel hanteer. Baie netjiese chalet wat ons definitief weer sal besoek. Soos bo gemeld, die lapa was ook netjies en in 'n goeie toestand in vergelyking met van die ander lapas. Nog 'n bonus is dat dit loopafstand is van die winkel, swembad ens. Ons het wildbesigtiging in ons eie voertuig gedoen wat ook baie lekker was en heelwat diere gesien. Een aand was daar olifante in die kamp wat 'n baie lekker ervaring was om hulle vanuit die chalet dop te hou. Die restaurant en kroeg bo by ontvangs is regtig aangenaam en die kos was baie lekker, so ook die kroeg in die karavaanpark (ook heerlike Pizzas in die karavaanpark). Ons sal die chalet regtig aanbeveel en so ook Mabalingwe in geheel. Die enige negatiewe kommentaar wat ek het is die musiek by die Kalahari Oase. Dit was geweldig hard en ek moes amper op die dame skree om my bestelling te plaas. Een van die manspersoneel het ook baie hard gefluit saam met die musiek en ons het dit gladnie daar geniet nie. Load shedding bly maar 'n frustrasie en buite die oord se beheer en Mabalingwe het geweldig baie load shedding gehad in ons tydperk daar. Voorstel oor die olifante om miskien net 'n waarskuwing te plaas op die bespreking dat hulle wel deur die verblyf-area beweeg.

Dear Dani, Thank you very much for your good review. It is very nice for us when our guests really enjoy themselves at Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge and want to come again. Thanks for the recommendation to put up a warning about the elephants walking through the camp. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Friendly greeting Sonia

Beste Danie, Baie dankie vir jou goeie resensie. Dit is vir ons baie lekker as ons gaste dit baie geniet by Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge en weer wil kom. Dankie vir die aanbeveling om 'n waarskuwing op te sit oor die olifante wat deur die kamp loop. Ons sien uit om jou weer terug te verwelkom. Vriendelike groete Sonja
