The accommodation was far more than we expected. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the view was stunning. Our wheelchair guest was able to join us at the boma and the braai - there was no part of the lodge which was inaccessible to him. We loved every minute of our stay.

The facility had everything we needed.
.from cutlery to pots and everything
Could have easily stayed way longer. It is so beautiful and relaxing. The peace and quiet, wow, so beautiful. The kids, (saying kids, they're in their early 20's) didn't want to leave, that speak volumes as far as I am concerned. We all loved it and wished we could have stayed longer. xxx

There is much good to say about Mabula Bushtime but the comments below would have me think twice about booking at Mabula Bushtime.
Wifi - 1) No wifi in the unit. Whilst this was OK, it would have been helpful to have been informed about this, at least at check-in. Wifi is an expected service and lack of wifi has implications. 2) There was wifi at the hotel, but one had to purchase a wifi voucher for 24 hours only. Again, at a minimum, basic wifi should be available for free.
Game Drives - This is not a self-driving reserve - there is no other option but field guides and their vehicles. 1) I had NOT been advised to book in advance, so the slots available at the time of check-in, for game drives was limited. 2) The included game drives are limited to the number of beds in the unit - for the entire stay. With no self-drive option, we had to pay for additional drives and these were not inexpensive, at unexpected further cost. 3) We were not informed that the lion enclosure was an extra cost game drive. Again, lack of communication led to frustrated expectations 3) There is no stopping nor offer of tea/coffee/rusks on the game drive for Bushtime guests, which for the cost of the game drive, would be expected. 4) And be aware that the field guides vary greatly in knowledge and experience.
Pools - There was inadequate information on which pools were heated and which pools were open. We had to drive around until we found a heated pool at one of the camps.
On the whole, the communication with guests prior to and at check-in was inadequate. There is a business WhatsApp number which would be the ideal platform to provide real-time information and communicate with guests. The people in my group had expectations of wifi and at least a daily game drive, with access to the lion enclosure included in the cost of the accommodation. At the start of our stay I had a tough time managing these expectations.

We were in the Zebula estate, which was great for viewing the plentiful wildlife and for golf. We were going to have some meals at the restaurant, but after seeing their menu pricing and paying R32 for a 200ml coke and R70 for a normal bread roll with some bacon and cheese, we decided to prepare all meals at our accommodation. Even at the little convenience store, you paid a premium for the convenience of being able to shop there. I would suggest that travellers make sure that they are well provisioned before they get there,.

Our stay at Mabula was great - the staff when we arrived were amazing. Their email system and reservation person on the phone can be a little more knowledgeable.
I called a couple of times to find out what was included in the reservation we did - and I got different answers every time. I emailed to ask and my question was not answered.
I wanted to know how many game drives were included in the booking. I was told 1 game drive - then I was told no game drives.
When we checked in the check in lady said to me we only had 1 game drive with our booking - when I went to book the game drive - the activities lady said to me we had 2 game drives with our booking.
So if the reservation person can get the story right then we can plan our activities a little better beforehand.
Otherwise everything else at Mabula was great.

A great place just at our doorstep with a great focus on conservation and sustainability. The safari vehicles follow protocols and coordinate with each other to ensure the viewing spot is never overcrowded with vehicles. Rangers are very well-informed and they share their knowledge. All the staff is super friendly. A warm welcoming place.

The region is a great area to escape to from the busyness of Joburg life. Being in the bush, close to nature, with beautiful blue skies during the day and star-filled skies during the night. This short left escape is everything you need to rest, refresh and recharge!
Fantastic location inside game reserve and golf estate. House has enormous terrace with swimming pool and Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebeest and a variety of antelope wander by all day, particularly around sunset. Location not too close to the hotel so no noise from the restaurants/pub etc. Golf course in amazing condition with Antelope etc wandering around. Staff super friendly. Very good value for money. Kids had a ball, adults had an amazing holiday. Elephant experience just down the road was incredible, 5 stars.
I´ve had the most amazing time at Mabula. It was my first safari experience and I couldn´t have chosen better.
We drove from Joaneshburgo airport and were a bit worried about the road - it was a 2h super easy drive.
Room was amazing - spacious, clean, well decorated.
Food was delicious.
Staff was super nice - our game driver was amazing and we´ve got to see Lions, Elephants, Rinos, Giraffes, Zebras, Chacals, Antilopes, etc.
I would definately come back and recommend it.
We got engaged on Friday at Adventure with elephants and then went to Mabula for the weekend, best time of our lifes, Melissa and Chanel helped with the accomodation and Ryan the romantic setup in the room were 50 out of 10, job well done, Mike at the Restaurant with his people working there and the waiters job well done. Melanie for the game drives and the rangers friendly. Well done guys Mabula is very nice and the people working there.
Mabula is incredible!!!!It was incredible from a price point (AWESOME) to the comfort of our living space (INCREDIBLE BEDS, WARM ROOMS)!!Loved the Breakfasts as well as the staff. Our favorite experience was going on a Game Drives with Tristan Kapp, he was passionate, enthusiastic, incredibly patient and had a wealth of knowledge about the animals, Mabula as well as the surrounding reserves.
Incredible facilities. Amazing Wildlife. Maintenance of the Units needs attention. Chef Alex Luwani is incredible. Jabulani Shange should be promoted to General Manager of the Hotel, and not just being the Barman - his service providing and Peoples's skill are exceptional. Phillip, Steven, Heindrick 1, Hendrick 2, and Aaron all need to be highly commended.
Lovely tented cabins with comfortable white linen beds, relaxing bathrooms and views of the plains. Giraffe at our doorstep. We loved spending time with the Safari Plains family. It’s a kid friendly hotel. The Rangers were super friendly and we saw incredible sightings at the Mabula Game Reserve. I would definitely visit again.
The staff were amazing, every single one of them was amazingly friendly and helpful and forward thinking. We loved the tents, they were stunning and game drivers with Elias were just the best. The best wildlife viewings in South Africa, we have been to many and Mabula has been the most exceptional.
The staff was excellent as far as service is concerned, The Mabula game Lodge family is the best, we didn't feel like guests but rather we were part of the family. Fantastic game drives, hifive (🖐)to the rangers!
Exceptional facility and activities, I can never hesitate revisiting.
The rooms were spacious , clean and comfortable . Close to lodge facilities . The support from Maintenance team Ronald was excellent when we had a water supply issue. Game drives was excellent and welcoming braai for all guests 🙌🏻 Mabula staff delivered exceptional service. 🙌🏻👏🏻
The accommodation was far more than we expected. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the view was stunning. Our wheelchair guest was able to join us at the boma and the braai - there was no part of the lodge which was inaccessible to him. We loved every minute of our stay.
The place was lovely, very spacious with everything you need. The view with the swimming pool was amazing. Very private and the rooms were all great! Great property for an occasion such as a Bachelorette. We enjoyed it very much and would recommend it for a nice group getaway!
The home is amazingly well equipped and comfortable. Unlike many lodges that feel like a hotel we really felt like we were in a home. The views are amazing and the information received from the hosts on what to do, where to go made our stay very enjoyable.
Kwafubesi Lodge is beautifully situated in a very scenic part of the Mabula Game Reserve. The staff are wonderful and they go out of their way to ensure that your stay is pleasant. The food was well presented and very tasty.
The attention to service at Mabula is exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were friendly and very attentive. The rooms were luxurious and very tastefully decorated. An overall exceptional experience.
The stay at Mabula game Lodge was cancelled due to a over booking on their side, was transferred to a sister lodge Safari Plains, the stay was very enjoyable.
