The Wildlife Department consists 21 dedicated rangers and the staff training and development is as vital in ensuring the delivery of consistently high quality service to guests. Summer is in the air and Mabula's game populations are flourishing. Newly born giraffes, red hartebeest and impala are to be seen everywhere. We are especially proud of our large rhino population and of the three new calves that were born this year. Duties of the game rangers include game capture, census and monitoring of game, as well as checking on sick animals.
Game viewing on horseback is a unique experience.
Nothing can prepare you for the thrill and excitement of seeing your first elephant, rhino or buffalo grazing a few feet away, undisturbed. A large part of Mabula's appeal to international and local visitors lies in its ethnic decor and luxurious accommodation. Upon arrival at Mabula one is immediately struck by its beauty and simplicity. The rustic atmosphere at the Lodge is created through understated elegance in the decor, which ensures a perfect blend with the splendid natural surroundings. The curio shop creates a lasting first impression with guests, but serves to enhance the ambience and rustic character of the Lodge.
