Beautiful place, incredible views, and pure bushveld magic! What an incredible getaway! Baobab Lodge in Mabalingwe exceeded our wildest expectations. The photos on the web make you think it’s going to be beautiful — but nothing prepares you for how special it really is. The view over the vast bushveld is breathtaking, and the pond in front of the lodge regularly brings wildlife closer, making the experience even more magical. The house itself is extremely well equipped — clean and comfortable with everything you need for a carefree getaway. We were a group of friends, and every moment there was pure enjoyment. From early morning coffee with the sun rising over the bush, to evenings around the fire under the stars — it was just perfect. A big thank you to the owners for their friendly and professional service. They really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was flawless. A lot of effort, a lot of care — and it’s noticed! We will definitely be back. Baobab Lodge is a gem in the bushveld!

Pragtige plek, ongelooflike uitsigte, en pure bosveldmágie! Wat ’n ongelooflike wegbreek! Baobab Lodge in Mabalingwe het ons wildste verwagtinge oortref. Die foto’s op die web laat jou dink dit gaan mooi wees — maar niks berei jou voor vir hoe besonders dit werklik is nie. Die uitsig oor die uitgestrekte bosveld is asemrowend, en die dammetjie voor die lodge bring gereeld wild nader wat die ervaring nóg meer magies maak. Die huis self is uiters goed toegerus — skoon en gerieflik met alles wat ’n mens nodig het vir ’n sorgvrye wegbreek. Ons was ’n groep vriendinne, en elke oomblik daar was pure genot. Van vroegoggend-koffie met die son wat oor die bos opkom, tot saans om die vuur onder die sterrehemel — dit was net perfek. ’n Groot dankie aan die eienaars vir hulle vriendelike en professionele diens. Hulle het regtig over and above gegaan om seker te maak ons bly was foutloos. Baie moeite, baie omgee — en dit word opgemerk! Ons sal beslis weer terug wees. Baobab Lodge is ’n juweel in die bosveld!

Mabalingwe is a lovely getaway close to the city. We really enjoyed the visit. I am only sorry that the game viewing vehicle is not included in the stay. Its use is not available to visitors and only for the use of the owner.

Mabalingwe is 'n heerlike wegbreek lekker naby aan die stad. Ons het die kuier vreeslik geniet. Ek is net jammer dat die wildsbesigtigingsvoertuig nie ingesluit is by die verblyf nie. Die gebruik daarvan is nie beskikbaar vir besoekers nie en net vir die gebruik van die eienaar.

Was a great getaway weekend with our best friends. We really enjoyed our stay at Boabab Lodge. More than enough sleeping space and all the rooms have air conditioning. View from the rooms was breathtaking. Rooms are large, bathrooms are nicely laid out with shower and bath.

Was 'n lekke wegbreek naweek saam ons beste vriende. Ons het regtig baie lekker by Boabab Lodge gebly. Meer as genoeg slaapplek en al die kamers het lugversorging. Uitkyk van die kamers is asemrowend gewees. Kamers is groot, badkamers is mooi uitgelê met stort en bad.

The 3rd time we go back and it continues to be great. The owner was very helpful, he let us help with a problem on a Saturday night. Very friendly and hospitable.

Die 3de keer wat ons terug gaan en dit bly wonderlik. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam, hy het ons laat gehelp met 'n probleem op 'n Saterdagaand. Baie vriendelik en gasvry.

Absolutely fantastic. Baobab was everything and more, the kitchen, the living and sleeping areas were lovely. The inside fire place allowed to stay warm and work into the night. I would definitely recommend the lodge. The animal sitings from the balcony were magical.

Boabab Lodge exceeded our expectations and more! Spacious house with a great layout. House was clean with everything you would need. The location was great and we were able to view many animals from our balcony. Sunsets were amazing! I would definitely recommend the Boabab Lodge and will most definitely be visiting there again soon.

The photo's are an understatement of the real place. We were pleasantly surprised how accommodating Boabab was. The child friendliness was an absolute bonus! The view is absolutely incredible. Really accomodating in every aspect. Two fridges worked very well with so many people staying there. Child friendly! Gates at all the stairs. Service is very good. Prompt response to any of our questions. Very welcoming. Our electricity went off and they came to assist us quickly. Fireplace inside came in handy as we were there during a rainy period. Gas braai also came in handy on the rainy nights. Guest toilet on the main floor came in handy as we didn't need to climb the stairs to use the restroom. I know these might be strange things to mention but these are the things we were pleasantly surprised by and thankful for during our stay. Almost as if Boabab was made for our family. Something that would have been nice is a warm pool but we knew from the start that it was not a warm pool so we can't complain about that. Pity we couldn't use the boma area due to the weather. Looks amazing! And also not on the photos. Wish we could have stayed longer!
