On Safari in South Africa – Mabula's Kingfisher Villa – Premier Collection
With the backdrop of the Mabula Game Reserve, this ‘Big Five’ escape adds luxury and an exclusive lodge stay to the classic South African safari experience.
Overview
Embrace the best of South Africa's wild spaces with a luxurious, all-inclusive stay at the Kingfisher Villa Suites, set in the heart of the acclaimed Mabula Game Reserve. This uniquely intimate lodge-resort hosts a maximum of 10 customers across its five suites and promises an even more exclusive safari experience. Overlooking the vast Waterberg Mountains is an expansive terrace, which offers unrivalled views of the local wildlife, and you can unwind in the lodge's infinity pool and premium spa facilities (payable locally). Your Premier experience begins upon arrival, with welcome drinks and high tea served on deck, and you’ll have the evening free to settle in at leisure.
Waste no time on your first full day at the lodge as you enjoy your first two game drives, before venturing back into the bush on foot for a closer look at the region’s colourful ecosystems the next day. Continue ticking animals off your safari wish-list with two more half-day game drives and join with a specialist guide for a safari with a difference, focusing on the botanical side of the bushveld. Enjoy a dinner under the open African skies ahead of a stargazing experience accompanied by a local expert, and bookend a lavish bush brunch with two more thrilling game drives the following day. You’ll have ample time to make the most of the lodge’s refined public spaces in your downtime. Animal spotting will be front of mind across the next two days, with a specialised tracking safari and a further three half-day game drives which offer a final few opportunities to spot the reserve’s striking local wildlife. At the end of your safari adventure, enjoy a final breakfast at the lodge and travel back to Johannesburg for your return flight.
