As the sun dips below the horizon, the bushveld whispers its goodnight.🌿🦓
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the bushveld as the sun goes down, painting the surrounding area with a warm golden hue.
During the sunset drive you get the opportunity to capture beautiful landscapes, as well as animals as they graze the field before nightfall.

Even though the fires at Mabalingwe have resulted in devastation, the magical sunsets never fail. Nature and the bush keeps the spirit alive .
Please take the time to create awareness of fire danger.
Please note: Due to the infrastructure repairs requirement, etc. in the aftermath of the recent wildfire, we will not be open for guests/check-ins until Friday, 6 October 2023. Guests due to check in on Friday, 6 October will be allowed to check-in. Should you have any queries in this regard, kindly email [email protected].
*Broadcast 11 – 28/09/2023 - 08:00*
Our biggest priority at this stage is getting the infrastructure (water and electricity supply) sorted out to the occupiable houses. Owners and agents must remember that even if the house was saved, the infrastructure around the house or area is not necessarily in working condition. If it is a small problem, the MCPA will try to attend to it as far as possible before the weekend, but bigger problems will require more time. We have completed our assessments yesterday afternoon and know what is needed. We have since been in contact with the suppliers of electrical cables and water pipes to get stock as soon as possible and to start fixing the damages.
Eskom is busy assessing the burned poles, which will cause electrical interruptions from Eskom occasionally. Depending on the damage and risk set by Eskom, they should be able to provide a timeline for repair then.
The visit from the MEC yesterday afternoon resulted in them considering declaring the area as a disaster area; we will provide feedback on this as and when received.
If any guests are allowed at your discretion, you must please emphasize that water and electricity supply cannot be guaranteed at all. We are doing our best to get everything sorted and up and running as soon as possible to minimise the effect on tourism.
Various assessors have started assessments across Mabalingwe, and we expect various assessors to be on site for at least the week or so.
Thank you for your patience!
