Tranquil and amazing animal experiences on our doorstep. Amazing. Tranquil. Memorable visits from the animals, especially the elephants at night!

Lekker gebly! Waarde vir geld! Baie lekker en vinnige wegbreek! Definitief waarde vir geld!

Excellent stay. The accommodation was actually nicer than what we expected it to be. Animals pass through, which makes the experience so worth it. Would definitely go again. The staff of the lodge are also very friendly and helpful. Check-in was super easy and convenient.

We had an amazing time and really loved the chalet and all the animals. When opening the window, there was a hornets' nest right outside, and I seemed to have disturbed them, so watch out. The ceiling fan was wobbling a bit excessively, and I thought it might fall off at any moment, but these are really small things I thought are worth mentioning. We enjoyed the table tennis and minigolf. It was amazing that we could "borrow" everything without having to pay. The game drives were reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it.

Lekker gerus. Lekker gerus. The weather is significantly warmer than Gauteng.

Amazing, value for my money. Mabalingwe is like our second home, this unit was beautifully located and had everything we needed. Close to the pools and entertainment area. The only disappointment is the lack of communication from the host, she takes ages to respond to any communication and it almost caused a problem, aside from that our stay was amazing.

Die Mabalingwe fassiliteit is goed, maar Elephant lodge is swak. Nee - Vuil kamers, geblokte dreins, onvolledige eetgeriewe, piepklein, verouderd, stukkende toilet lig, stortwater dam op buite voordeur.

Teleurgesteld in die eenheid. Op die plasing was daar verwys na die badkamer wat 'n stort oor die bad sou hê. Ek het hierdie eenheid gekies omdat ons 2 klein kinders het wat moet bad, en 'n stort sal nie vir hulle werk nie. Die eenheid het in werklikheid net 'n stort gehad. Dit is sleg om die verkeerde inligting op 'n plasing te sit. Ek moes dus 'n plan maak om my 2 kinders te was (3 maande en 3 jaar oud). Die eetgerei was ook minimaal. Daar was geen bakke vir slaai of bykosse wanneer ons braai nie. Daar was ook geen skeplepels nie. Daar was 3 vurke, 2 smeer-messe, 2 skerp-messe, 1 groot lepel en 3 klein lepels. Dit was onmoontlik om kos voor te sit sodat ons kon opskep omdat daar nie skeplepels was nie. Die braaigeriewe was ook minimaal. Daar was net een tang om hout te skuif en ons vleis te braai. Die braaibak het nie 'n deksel gehad nie, so jou vleis het oop gestaan. Die mikrogolf is baie klein en daarom kon jy ook nie die braaibak daarin bere nie. Ons is teleurgesteld in die eenheid. Dit is ons 3de keer wat ons Mabalingwe besoek, maar die eerste keer wat ons by die eenheid bespreek.

Disappointing as we were not allowed to tour the reserve! I had to wait for a QR access code at the gate. The loose chairs inside were filthy, and the dustbin at the braai pit was broken. Additionally, I could not enjoy a self-drive game drive because "game management" was taking place. Why were members not informed beforehand? It seems there was a communication disconnect between the staff and members. The ergonomics of the kitchenette were impractical.
