The interiors feature soaring thatched ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and plush curtains, harmoniously paired with understated African art for a refined yet authentic ambiance.
Children under six years old may only join family safaris, subject to management's discretion.
Giant Suite
This spacious suite is inspired by the Giant Kingfisher, Africa’s largest kingfisher species, which grows up to 44 cm long. Renowned for its distinctive call and nesting habits along the riverbanks near the villa, the suite captures the bird’s subtle elegance in its sophisticated design.
Malachite Suite
The Malachite Kingfisher, with its vivid blue plumage accented by hints of orange and red, is mirrored in this suite’s vibrant and artistic details. Every corner reflects the bird’s striking beauty and energy.
Mangrove Suite
Drawing inspiration from the Mangrove Kingfisher, known for its red beak and grey feathers with a blue-green sheen, this suite showcases a contemporary design with soft tones and textures that echo the bird’s unique coloration.
Pied Suite
Inspired by the Pied Kingfisher’s striking black-and-white plumage, this suite embodies minimalistic elegance. The clean lines and understated luxury create a tranquil retreat with sweeping views of the surrounding bushveld.
Woodland Suite
The Woodland Kingfisher, with its brilliant blue feathers, inspires the Woodland Suite’s bright and inviting atmosphere. The space features luxurious materials and vibrant touches, creating a warm and memorable haven.
Tailored Experiences
Customize your stay with a variety of activities. Sunrise and sunset safaris in open vehicles, led by experienced guides, offer an incredible opportunity to explore the diverse wildlife of the Greater Mabula Game Reserve. The reserve is home to lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and the impressive mega-herd of over 50 elands.
Relaxation and Wellness
After your adventures, unwind in the outdoor lounge, complete with a raised deck for stunning views of the Mvube Plain, where giraffes and rhinos often roam. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the splash pool or indulge in an in-suite massage. For more wellness options, visit the nearby Mabula Game Lodge for spa treatments, or challenge yourself to a pre-sunset tennis match.
In the evening, marvel at the star-filled skies and listen to the soothing sounds of the hippo pod by the dam. Dinner by the cozy boma fire or in the dining area with views of the waterhole offers the perfect end to your day. Retreat to your luxurious villa suite, rejuvenated and ready for another day of adventure.

Booking a family safari for a family of 17 made easy.
Booking a family safari for a group of 17 people is no easy feat. Izanne Meyer helped us set up an exciting and amazing itinerary for us in a matter of 9 days. I could chat with her on WhatsApp and all our queries were promptly answered. Her passion and friendliness is a bonus. I found the Safari.com platform consumer friendly and their service streamlined. We are looking forward to our 16 day fun filled safari with our children and grandchildren.
