Tucked away in the heart of the Balule Nature Reserve, part of the unfenced Greater Kruger National Park, Mohlabetsi Bush Camp offers an authentic and private Big Five safari experience in South Africa. This exclusive-use self-catering lodge accommodates up to 10 guests in five beautifully appointed, air-conditioned en-suite chalets – ideal for families or small groups seeking an immersive wildlife retreat.
Each chalet features modern comforts, including cooling aircon, insect-screened windows and doors, and stylish en-suite bathrooms with all essential amenities. The camp’s elevated main deck overlooks a frequently visited waterhole, providing front-row seats to a variety of wildlife – from elephants and buffalo to the occasional lion stopping by for a drink.
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen includes:
Gas and electric ovens
Microwave
Kettle
Ice machine
Two upright fridges, one upright freezer, one chest freezer, and a bar fridge
Whether you’re preparing a feast or a quick brunch before a game drive, you’ll have all the tools you need. Outside, the large swimming pool with pool loungers and towels is a refreshing escape during hot summer days, and the traditional braai (barbecue) area offers the perfect place to enjoy evenings under the stars.
Guests at Mohlabetsi Bush Camp enjoy two professionally guided game drives daily – one in the early morning and another in the late afternoon, venturing into over 12,000 hectares of traversing area.

260+ bird species, from colourful bee-eaters to mighty raptors
A diversity of reptiles, insects, and fascinating flora
