Top Mabalingwe Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp

Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp

10/10 Excellent
"We had an idyllic getaway at the tent camp. Firstly, the tents are really stunning. The bed is extra wide and comfortable. The outside shower is awesome first thing in the morning. The tent was very clean, and easy to use. The camp is very quiet, and the night sky is spectacular. The attention by both the staff and ranger was also great. The chef was first class, and the food lacked nothing. It was maybe a little too much. The Saturday evening braai was a highlight, and breakfast robust. The staff went out of their way to treat us on the Sunday, and arranged a picnic by the dam. The game drives are great and the vehicle was comfortable. We had sunset drinks and snacks, and the blankets helped when it got cold. Frank the Rhino likes to hang around the camp, and there is also a couple of porcupines onsite."

Babohi at Qwabi Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent
"Our family group of five (across three rooms) had an exceptional stay at Babohi at Qwabi. The safari experience exceeded every expectation, giving us close encounters with many animals. We enjoyed a sundowner with Rhinos walking around us, and woke up to Lions roaring in the early morning, moments we'll never forget. We also spotted Elephants, Hippos, and Giraffes throughout our stay. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, offering the perfect retreat after a day out in the bush. The food was consistently delicious and of high quality, with every meal feeling like a special occasion. What really made this trip stand out was the staff. Joe made our game drives informative and exciting, and the front desk, restaurant, and housekeeping teams were all impeccable, warm, attentive, and professional throughout our stay. We'd happily return and recommend Babohi at Qwabi to anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality safari experience."

"Accommodation is basic but clean and functional. We love all the outdoor pools both warm and cold as they are in pristine condition. The indoor hot pool is amazing at night. Good way to relax before bedtime. There is only one waterslide but it is fast and fun. Mini golf course is very challenging but great."

10/10 Excellent
"Truly an excellent choice. Having stayed at over 14 different locations around South Africa this last month this was refreshing. The chalets was comfortable and had everything we needed. We were gutted to stay just one night as we did not want to leave. We were urged to stay at the ATKV but decided to try this. True, the pool and hot (ish?) pool is small but the zebra’s, giraffes and other animals wandering through the chalets made up for any of it. It was also quiet and relaxing. So if you want fun, higher energy stay i would go across the road to Klein Kariba but if you want truly relaxing and enjoying a quiet fire, animals etc then this is it."
