Uniquely positioned, Kubu Lodge is right on the water’s edge. As our guest you will be treated to occasional hippos grazing and grunting during the night and playing in the water during the day. You can also catch a glimpse of the elephants who are known to leisurely pass by and cross the water, close to the lodge, where you can watch them from your viewing deck. End your evening, on the deck, enjoying beautiful star gazing at night with fireflies at the water’s edge. Kubu Lodge derives its name from the hippos residing in the dam right in front of the lodge. Mabalingwe is a well-known and renowned nature reserve of some 12000 hectares in extent, located approximately 1,5 to 2.0hrs from Pretoria and Johannesburg, respectively. Please note: Game drives are not included and can be arranged at an additional cost. Please enquire with our host for options.
Our bush venue Kubu lodge is nestled in the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, located on a beautiful water hole, in the African bushveld on a farm called Cyferfontein close to the town of Bela Bela in the Limpopo Province. Cyferfontein is nestled in the foothills of the Waterberg mountains in the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, one of the most Breath taking, Malaria Free bushveld regions of South Africa.
