Safari stargazing
1 / 5
After dark we’ll turn our attention to the clear, unpolluted skies of the Southern Hemisphere – a seemingly endless inky expanse that overlooks the Mabula Reserve. A specialist will guide us through the stars and planets above, retelling local legends about their origins.
Trail big game at dawn and dusk
1 / 5
The highlight of a safari adventure, our dawn and dusk game drives (seven in total) will introduce you to the spectacular wildlife and breathtaking scenery of the Mabula Reserve. We’ll trail the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), and Little Five (elephant shrew, antlion, rhinoceros beetle, buffalo weaver and leopard tortoise), plus keep our eyes peeled for more than 300 species of bird.
Explore the bush on foot
1 / 5
Our tour includes two opportunities to meet the reserve residents on foot. We’ll follow an expert guide into the heart of the wild, immersing ourselves among the sights and sounds while keeping a safe distance from the local inhabitants.
A lesson in plant power
1 / 5
Up with the larks, we’ll learn all about the power of plants on this dedicated morning walk. With an expert in local medicine and holistic traditions leading the way, it's an opportunity to discover how the native flora’s healing properties are crucial to the survival of the reserve’s animals.
Searching for madjuma lions
1 / 5
This is our chance to observe the king of the jungle in his natural habitat. In the company of expert rangers, we’ll head out early morning to track down a pride of lions. Getting up close to these majestic animals is extraordinary, and we’ll learn all about their habits and behaviours, plus how the rangers work tirelessly to protect them.
