One of the standout features of a Private Game Lodge is its commitment to exclusivity. Unlike larger, more crowded safari destinations, Private lodges limits the number of guests, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience. This exclusivity extends to game drives, where knowledgeable and experienced guides lead small groups, providing an opportunity for in-depth exploration and wildlife observation. The seclusion of the lodge allows guests to connect with nature on a profound level, away from the distractions of modern life. The Greater Kruger Park is renowned for its rich biodiversity, and Private Game Lodge maximizes the potential for extraordinary wildlife encounters. The lodge's strategic location provides access to prime game-viewing areas, allowing guests to witness the "Big Five". The skilled guides are not just experts in tracking animals but also passionate storytellers, sharing their knowledge about the flora and fauna, enriching the safari experience.
Leave Johannesburg at 06h00 and once out of Johannesburg travel east on the N12 towards eMalahleni then on the N4 to Dullstroom and Lydenburg. Continue down the spectacular Abel Erasmus Pass into the Lowveld, it is now only a fifty minute drive to the Balule Game Reserve a "Big Five” reserve which is part of Greater Kruger Park. Your safari starts once you enter the reserve gate with a 7 km drive through the reserve to Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge. Late afternoon is "safari time" Meet your ranger and board an open game tracking vehicle to explore the African Bush looking for some of the many species that make this area home. The ranger will point out and explain the many animals found, and hopefully you will be lucky enough to see the elusive cats. On day two and three enjoy an early morning and an afternoon open safari vehicle game drive and three delicious meals a day. Between the game drives you will have time to enjoy the lodge facilities. On day four another early morning wake up call before going on the morning game drive to search for any animals you may have not yet spotted and then after breakfast check out and sadly leave the lodge and start your drive back home.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
