Area Info
Mabalingwe is situated below the beautiful Waterberg Mountain range, just west of Bela Bela and is famous for its Big 5 game. A variety of activities are available, from predator feedings 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 horse back, you have the advantage of exploring sightings where game drive vehicles can not reach. Some wildlife will allow you to ride close by such as herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope.
The Predator Park 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.
