Area Info
Mabalingwe is situated below the beautiful Waterberg Mountain range, just west of Bela Bela and is famous for its Big Five game. A variety of activities are available, from predator sanctuary tours and game drives to horse riding.
A game drive is the perfect way to experience the unfiltered beauty of the bushveld and to see the wildlife in their natural habitat. Different species are active during different times of the day.
On horseback, you have the advantage of exploring sightings where game drive vehicles cannot reach. Some wildlife will allow you to ride close by such as herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope.
The Predator Sanctuary offers you a chance to see how amazing and powerful different predators can be. This experience is quite different from just reading or hearing about them.
