Big 5 on your doorstep

The Mabalingwe Nature Reserve is rich in abundant bird and animal life, including Africa’s Big 5. It is spread over 12 500 ha, malaria free unspoilt bushveld. The reserve nestles in the shadow of the majestic Waterberg Mountains.

The reserve has facilities such as a restaurant and ladies bar, bush pub, shop, liquor store, ATM and fuel. A large variety of activities are available including game drives, bird drives, lion feeding, archery, paintball, abseiling, tennis courts, putt-putt, squash court and horseback safaris. You are also allowed to enter the game viewing areas in your own vehicle.

The Kalahari Oasis, in the reserve, is the bush pub where the famous Castrol GTX adverts were filmed. A great place to have a beer – “Ya Boet!”
