Urgent Info: 

Resorts are required to check proof of Identity upon check in.

The resort has many steep inclines and some of the units have steep stairs leading to the front door and is therefore not suited for disabled guests.

The resident wildlife are extremely dangerous and should be treated with respect at all times.

The 0/04 sleeper units are for 2 adults and 2 children only!!

Motorbikes are not allowed on the property due to safety concerns as Mabalingwe is a Game Reserve housing the Big 5.

Credit Card details are required on arrival. An inventory list will be placed in the unit on arrival and needs to be checked by guests and handed in to reception within 12 hours of occupation.

** In an attempt to combat fire and loss of units, the resort will be replacing the existing thatch roofs with Harvey tile roofs, which will to a large extend avert the danger posed by veldt fires. We have requested the contractors to be mindful of the needs of guests and trust that this will therefore lead to a minimal discomfort and interference with your stay. **
