Thanks to all involved at Mohlabetsi for an unforgettable stay!
Property was very clean, well provisioned and furnished with luxury finishes and comfortable bedrooms.
Although self-catering, the on-site staff were friendly and very efficient - went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay.
Game drives were well orchestrated with knowledgeable guide - Weather was extremely wet, so some areas were closed to drives, but still enjoyed each excursion.

Luxury and convenience in the bush
This self-catering lodge is a real gem. Very well appointed and equipped with everything we needed. Game drives were excellent. The main building is spacious and airy. It includes an open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with a viewing deck overlooking the stream and a waterhole. Swimming pool and BBQ off to one side. The are three bedrooms in one block and two standalone bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. Definitely the best self-catering lodge I have stayed at in this area.
One of the bedrooms is a loft room with a downstairs bathroom. Not a problem - but may not be ideal for older folks like us. Did not detract at all from our visit.

We stayed at 8 different locations on our holiday and many of the guests rated Mohlabetsi their favourite!
The communal areas were exceptional! Loved the indoor/outdoor bar and the game-viewing vehicle was very comfy. Lucky, Raymond and Mavis were amazing 😌
Some guests found the outdoor showering a tad chilly but I thought they were cool.

Unforgettable family adventure in the heart of the bush.
Our stay at Mohlatetsi Bush Lodge was nothing short of magical—one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after you’ve left. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and immersed in the beauty and serenity of the bush.
Located a short drive from Balule Gate, the private lodge was 3 km down a rugged track—secluded and worth every bump. The main house had a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining area, lounge, and bar, opening to a deck overlooking the bush and a watering hole. The private pool was a highlight, with staff setting up loungers and fresh towels daily. The outdoor area featured a barbecue, fire pit, and dining table, with staff setting the fire and chairs for evenings under the stars.
The setup was perfect for two families with five children. The main house had three en-suite bedrooms, one with an outdoor bathroom overlooking the bush. Two separate houses, one with twin beds and the other a double, also had en-suite bathrooms for privacy.
Game drives were unforgettable, with early starts rewarded by incredible sightings of the Big Five, including a rare black rhino with her baby. After each drive, we were greeted with refreshing, scented towels—a thoughtful touch. Downtime was spent lounging by the pool, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, or watching cheeky monkeys, geckos, and mongooses around the lodge.
Self-catering was effortless, with a well-equipped kitchen, huge fridge, and attentive staff who set the table and handled the dishes. The combination of luxury, adventure, and serenity exceeded all our expectations, and we can’t wait to return!
Rough Access Road
- The 3-kilometer track to the lodge was rugged and required a high-clearance vehicle, which might be challenging for some visitors.
- While the seclusion was a highlight, it also meant you needed to plan ahead for groceries and supplies since there weren’t nearby shops or services.
- These were minor inconveniences compared to the overall incredible experience but worth noting for future guests to prepare accordingly.

Lodge magnifique avec vue sur le bush.La réserve est grande avec de nombreux point d'eau et beaucoup de zones ouvertes qui permettent de mieux voir les nombreux animaux. Le personnel de maison est trés discret cela permet de se sentir vraiment chez soi.Le Ranger qui nous accompagner etait super Genial et très professionnelle.Pour resumer vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.
