Description

Discover the Magic of Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge

Nestled in the heart of Limpopo's breathtaking Lowveld region, Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge is a serene oasis just 10 km north of Hoedspruit. Ideally located, we're only 25 km from Eastgate Airport (Hoedspruit HDS) and a short drive from the iconic Panorama Route, which winds along the majestic Drakensberg Escarpment.

As part of the renowned Balule Nature Reserve, Mohlabetsi is proudly integrated into the Greater Kruger National Park Management Area. This privileged position allows our guests to explore over 12,000 hectares of pristine wilderness teeming with wildlife.

Our intimate lodge features six charming thatched rondavels, each offering twin or king-size beds, private en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and bar fridges for your comfort. For families or small groups, we offer two interleading rooms with flexible bed configurations and private facilities.

For those seeking an elevated experience, our luxurious suite offers exclusive indulgence with its own private pool—perfect for unwinding under the African sun.
We're delighted to share that our 4-star TGCSA rating has recently been renewed, a testament to our commitment to quality and guest satisfaction.

Between exhilarating game drives, guests can relax by the sparkling pool, browse our spacious curio shop, or unwind in a hammock. Our outdoor bar and lounge provide the perfect setting to enjoy a refreshing drink while taking in the sweeping bushveld views and watching wildlife visit our well-frequented waterhole.

Dining at Mohlabetsi is a sensory delight. Enjoy breakfast in our cozy indoor dining room, lunch beneath the shade of towering trees, and dinner under the stars in our traditional boma, where hearty campfire meals create unforgettable memories.

At the heart of the Mohlabetsi experience is our warm hospitality and exceptional cuisine. Our dedicated team takes pride in crafting every meal and moment to ensure your stay is both magical and memorable.
