Situated in Greater Kruger National Park, Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge offers modern accommodation based on African themes. It features gourmet dinners by the campfires and game drives lead by experienced trackers. The hotel offers accommodation in traditional round huts and in family lodges. Each one has an African-style thatched roof and is decorated in earthy colors. A variety of locally inspired meat dishes, made from fresh produce, are usually served by the campfire. Tranquility Lapa, located far from the main lodges, offers various types of massages. Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge organizes game drives and bush walks which include a look at Africa’s Big Five mammals.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.
