About Mabalingwe Nature Reserve

The caravan park at Mabalingwe has 70 stands with a mix of paved and grass surfaces, some shaded, some in full sun. Standard electrical points are at all stands (bring a 15-metre extension cord). Three ablution blocks serve the park with toilets, showers, basins, and two family bathrooms. A scullery and laundry (washing machine and tumble dryer) are available. The Big 5 are the headline act. Guided and self-drive game drives run through the reserve, and there's a predator park and horse riding on offer. The pool complex has heated and cold pools, waterslides, jacuzzis, and a putt-putt course. A restaurant serves pizza and pub food, and a liquor store and convenience shop cover essentials. With 36 mammal species and 220 bird species, the binoculars stay busy. The reserve is malaria-free and the Waterberg Biosphere surrounds it.
