Tucked away in the savannah plains and acacia-dotted safari destination that is the greater Mabula Private Game Reserve, our intimate, five-star safari lodge consists of luxuriously appointed safari tents.
Each secluded tent is raised on a platform with a private wooden deck that allows for safaris or star gazing during a safari near Gauteng. The five canvas tents epitomise unrivalled comfort and are done up in tasteful safari-style décor, toned-down colours and natural materials that are reminiscent of ‘Out of Africa’.

A sanctuary from the stresses of everyday life, Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp is a safari getaway in the tranquil setting of the malaria-free Waterberg.
The sumptuous camp lounge is set in the heart of this luxury game lodge near Johannesburg. Its stylish dining area and bar showcase expansive views over the waterhole and golden Mvube Plain often frequented by plains game, giraffe and even rhino, best viewed with a drink in one hand and binoculars in the other. The crackling fireplace in the boma sets the mood for dinner as it welcomes guests back from their sunset safari as the day draws to a close.
Experiences
Early morning safaris in an open 4×4 game viewing vehicle from Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp, offers guests the chance to see nature awakening to the glow of the morning sun as it paints the savannah plains golden. Warm blankets and a tea and coffee break dissipate the morning – or winter – chill. Afternoon sundowner safaris allow for a few hours of safari before dusk descends over the majestic Waterberg.
