African Dream Lodge

Self-catering lodge accommodation in Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, Limpopo

About Us

Perched high on a mountainside, the luxurious African Dream Lodge offers stunning views into the valley below and thanks to the low noise zone of the reserve, expect to hear the roar of the lions, giving all your senses a truly African experience. Just a 90-minute drive from Pretoria, it’s the perfect escape from city life!

Situated in the heart of the serene Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, this self-catering lodge acts as the ideal launchpad for authentic African wildlife experiences, with warthogs, kudus, and klipspringers among the regular visitors around the house. Game drives into the Reserve – using the private game viewing vehicle available on request with each booking – yield sightings of many animals including the possibility of seeing all the Big Five, with the lions situated in their own separate encampment.

The lodge offers 4 ensuite bedrooms with extra-length king size beds as well as a loft with single beds, for a maximum of 10 people. Indulgent bedroom features include luxury linen, aircons and electric blankets.

African Dream Lodge is the perfect year-round getaway destination. Depending on the season, relax around the fireplace in the winter lounge or chill out in the cool summer lounge – there’s even an ice machine to ensure you can enjoy a glass of something cold as you watch the sunset. The open plan of the lodge and the African décor, lend themselves to the best of the South African lifestyle and an authentic sense of the place.

Entertainment options include the braai area, swimming pool, dartboard, and pool table, as well as a TV with full DStv bouquet. Complimentary Wi-Fi is also offered. African Dream Lodge is available on an exclusive-use basis, with a minimum stay of two nights.
