Mabulani Game Farm (Limpopo, Bushveld, Bela-Bela (Warmbaths))
Mabulani Game Farm
General Information
The wind blows off the steeply wooded mountain slopes freshening the valleys far below. Pressed silently against the rough bark of the Acacia tree you watch the fat impala grazing towards you.
With dainty little steps and quick fly chasing shivers they are suddenly all around - moments before a snort of fear has them leaping like a cascading waterfall – you become one with Africa.
Mabulani Game Reserve nestles in the lovely Waterberg Mountains, 50 kilometers from Warmbaths (now named Bela-Bela) and 150km from Pretoria. It is two and a half hours drive from Johannesburg and just over an hour and a half from Pretoria. Mabulani is in a malaria-free area.
