Exuding elegance and understated luxury, an Extraordinary encounter with South Africa’s bushveld awaits, located just two hours’ drive from Johannesburg in the Malaria free Waterberg region of the Limpopo Province. Diverse landscapes, including grassland plains and rocky outcrops create the ideal habitat for the free roaming Big Five.
Distinctly African in style, Mabula Game Lodge offers comfortable suites with luxury finishings. The soft neutral bushveld colours are complemented by large windows which allow the African Bushveld indoors.
World class cuisine in a variety of dining venues, combines the enjoyment of rich tantalizing menus with the tranquillity of the bushveld. Numerous activities such as open vehicle safaris, bush walks and horse trails ensure that Mabula is a place where memories are made.
The Superior rooms boast a gorgeous laminate vinyl floor which extends throughout the bedroom and living space into the breezy new bathroom areas. Characteristic French doors allow the light to flow in. The windows are dressed with a gorgeous full block out high-quality cotton sateen curtain with leaf motif. A sheer organza curtain backs this to allow light yet maintain privacy.
The writing desks have a shiny new ottoman chair with a luxury textured upholstered finish and are equipped with high quality tea and coffee making stations. Under bed handwoven sisal carpets finish the traditional feel and create an interesting border extending out from the beds for an added luxurious finish. Luxury 300 thread count linen and fluffy allergy proof duvets dress every bed.
An opaque glass paneled door leads into the bathroom which is designed in hues of greys, white and mushroom allowing a combination of textures to blend into what can only be described as a feeling of complete calm and serenity. The new vanity with free standing luxury porcelain basin is framed by a designer glass wall unit with floating glass shelves displaying our high-quality amenities. A frameless walk in shower complete with an active shower console offering a multiple spray shower experience is state of the art. The shower floor is highlighted with a mixed glass, marble and chrome mosaic finish and the wall tiles in the shower show off with a ceramic designer texture.
